I wanted to update on my post from several months ago on the poor surgical result and experience…read more(lack of reply to my issue) with Dr. Burns. It has now been approximately 8 months and still no reply regarding my issues from Dr. Burns or his office. I have since flown from Indy to Houston Texas and had my belly button revision. This is the first of what will be a two stage correction meaning I will travel again and pay again for a second revision procedure because of how poor my belly button was done initially. My current surgeon is perplexed by what exactly was done in my surgery with Burns. The only thing he can guess is that the incisions were closed with too much tension especially with the lower long scar he possibly took too much skin and had to pull the incision too tight causing the belly button to have constant pulling on my incisions. My long scar initially post op did start opening in a few spots which was told was normal and to put bacitracin on and keep it covered. Now I see this was also probably related to the the incision being closed too tightly. My low incision didn't heal great because of this as I said in my previous post but at least that could be covered with clothing etc. The revision has to be done in two steps since there was zero laxity left from my surgery with Burns. My new surgeon went in from the low incision and excised some of the excess scar tissue and took out the "outer circle incision" and has managed to actually tuck everything in (scar and incision) to be moreso hidden inside the bellybutton as new technique is done versus the antiquated "circle" around the whole outside of the bellybutton that Burns did. My next surgery will be to hopefully make the belly button smaller and tuck everything in further. My new surgeon didn't have the laxity at this point to work with requiring the second surgery I will need. To add my new surgeon who is truly an artist and updated in his techniques also completely revised my low scar and took out the widened areas that was caused my by initial incision being too tight and pulling open. He did this as a courtesy at no charge. After my next revision procedure when things are all healed up I will post before and afters - at this point I am still self conscious about it despite it being so much better that it was with Dr. Burns result. My new lower revised incision looks fantastic however and from week four was thin and you really had to look for it!!! He brought it lower and into my contour more... I really didn't realize how subpar my low incision even was as I was so focused on my poor belly button result. At this point I am out SO much money between my initial travel to Dallas for Dr Burns and two subsequent visits with Dr Burns again traveling from Indianapolis for him to attempt to "fix it." Airfares, hotels rental cars x 3 Dallas trips. My initial request was asking Dr Burns to refund my tummy tuck fee portion of my initial surgery cost which went unanswered. With all of my other expenses and now my revision procedures x 2 and subsequent travel across the US I have/am spending a fortune to fix Dr Burns poor work. What I asked of Dr Burns was a small small amount in the big scheme of things. The fact that I have still not received any reply to my initial emails and request speaks volumes to me about Dr Burns and his true charachter. Like I said prior these people will seem over the top friendly and caring, and Dr Burns will email you and respond to your emails personally until you have a problem or concern and then it will fall upon deaf ears and you will not get a reply. If you are seeking a surgeon once again I would advise you to keep looking. I found Dr Burns on TikTok and truly wished I didn't fall for the cutesy comedy videos and fake persona that they/he portrays - I wish I would have went with someone who was spending their free time updating their outdated techniques. Someone who is more focused on my surgery than perhaps rushing through it to go make the next TikTok video. I will keep sharing my result and experience on this platform and others in hopes that it helps others. Dr Burns has recently renovated his fancy office and practice suite yet could not have the decency to refund a very small nominal amount of money for his mistake. That tells me all I need to know about who he truly is as a person and what his priorities are.

I had an appointment for a consultation and had to pay for when I booked it. Got there on time at…read more4pm and waited for an hour before anyone came out. And the girl was rather rude when she did finally come out because by that time the office was closed. Even the receptionist left before anyone came out... During the wait time I discovered the doctor I was seeing was basically finishing his training. Uh no.. I expected to see an experienced surgeon. I'm really mad I wasn't told this prior to making an appointment and paying. I would've never made the appointment. I searched for the doctor trainee and I couldn't find any reviews or before and after photos of anything he's ever done. Sorry not going to be someone's practice dummy. I am highly pissed I took off work early drove to the other side of town for nothing. And now that it's after 5pm I get to battle traffic for 45 mins to get home.

This place stinks in so many ways. Of course, pretty much the case at any hospital. The healthcare…read morein U.S.A. has failed patients.. I gave 2 stars because of some outstanding doctors and nurses. They really cared, attentive and worked hard trying to keep my brother alive. I can list those people because they were so memorable and kind. These were all during his many, many hospital stays. I feel like that if you don't get these people, you might be lucky to stay alive. The lack of help, lack of staff (some fell asleep while we were in our floor room), excruciating long wait in ER, lack of doctors or nurses coming in ER room. HOURS and HOURS and HOURS waiting in an ER hallway with NO ONE helping. Even when he was in dire straights, including throwing up blood, they were slow (not to a room and seen by nurse and doctor to control theowing up) it was after they got him "stable" which he was not. The incredibly slow process of getting a room. They assign one BUT hours and hours of wait time. With the excuse they need to clean it. Again, is this a lack of staffing or just in no hurry for patients. We think their moto should be: UTSW we strive to just do a hurry up and wait and wait and wait to help you. I will never go there. Surely there is a better solution than this kind of care. Don't be fooled by their "#1 hospital in Texas". It is ONLY in research. I wish their research was better in our situation. There really are some fantastic staff and doctors we have been very blessed in that way. Especially, some of his doctors that have been caring, attentive, educational, saved his life more than once in the past 4 years. Dr. Goldschmidt, Dr. Sawas, Dr. Kim, Dr. Mufti, Dr. Chittajallu, Dr. Bradley, etc. I know I am missing some of these fantastic doctors and nurses. I am very sorry to miss your names. These listed were his hospital stays. THE VERY sad thing is they probably don't read these reviews and do more to address these very serious issues. I have worked with the complaint department to help but it has been mostly a miss. There were a couple of people who did great. It's frustrating to see your loved one suffering for hours and hours and hours with limited assistance. I have shed many a tear during these years.

I called to schedule the appointment, only to find out my previous doctor was no longer with the practice, but they had all my records and offered a Dr. Garza. When I called to re-schedule an appointment, the automated system provides options, but none for Dr. Garza. When I finally speak with a warm body, I'm given the number for his office, and asked to call to make the change. On a Monday morning nobody answers the phone! I tried to call back, before I give up and call DEC, to speak to the warm body again. She is kind enough to message Dr. Garza office manager, who finally calls me. She explains, that the calls are routed overseas, and only after nobody there picks up, are they routed back to their office......what?? With all the confidence this experience has inspired, I cancel the appointment. Adding insult to injury, they will charge me $100 cancellation fee for cancelling a Thursday appointment on the prior Monday. Where do I bill all my wasted time???

From start to finish, my experience with Sona Bella in Addison was absolutely incredible…read more My pre-op nurse, Clarissa, set the tone right away. She took the time to answer every single question I had (and I had a lot!) and made me feel completely at ease going into surgery. Her calm, reassuring presence made such a difference, and I walked in feeling confident instead of nervous. On surgery day, Sky was my nurse, and she was just as amazing. She was attentive, kind, and constantly checking in to make sure I was comfortable and doing well throughout the entire procedure. You can truly tell she cares about her patients. And Dr. Bowker... I can't say enough good things. He was professional, knowledgeable, and so genuinely kind. He talked me through what he was doing, kept me encouraged, and made me feel completely safe in his hands. That level of communication meant everything to me. What really stood out was the follow-up--Dr. Bowker personally checked on me after I got home, which just shows the level of care and dedication this team has. I wholeheartedly recommend Sona Bella, Dr. Bowker, Clarissa, and Sky. If you're considering a procedure, you will be in the best hands.
