PLEASE check his disciplinary history with KY and Indiana Boards of Medicine. Disgusting. There are much better options (ethically and skill-wise) you can turn to in Louisville.

Patient's update

PLEASE check his disciplinary history with KY and Indiana Boards of Medicine. Disgusting. There are much better options (ethically and skill-wise) you can turn to in Louisville. Shame on Norton's Healthcare for not warning us about who we are seeing for such a sensitive procedure. If you do choose to see him, bring a trusted chaperone with you that will not leave you alone for ANY reason.

Please don’t use this doctor as your post mastectomy surgeon. He is extremely dismissive which led to multiple life threatening hospitalizations. While waiting hours in the waiting room one day, there were at least 2 other women waiting as well who had very similar experiences. It’s good that he’s no longer in the same office as his wife the breast surgeon because it was so convenient.

No bedside manner. Arrogant and didn’t answer questions. He did my breast reconstruction after mastectomy. I ended up with staph infection and had 4 surgeries before implant removed. Necrotic tissue was cut out and stitched together. This man is not a plastic surgeon. Unwashed quick to blame attending mastectomy surgeon for the staph infection. Would never recommend this Dr. 2019

I saw someone post that he had exposed himself to a patient years ago...I think all of the statements are false...there is nothing about it on Google...and this would be a big story! I think this site needs to allow doctors to respond...and lies should not be involved....have only been seeing him 3 months and have never seen any indications of him NOT being a great doctor. This site needs to remove those posts until you can verify the charges being made.

Frightening that the board let him off so easily after his indiscretion with a patient. Scary and sad

Sad that most patients have forgotten about how this doctor exposed himself to a patient who had breast cancer and sought treatment.

In regard to any negativity.....He is still voted one of Louisville's Top Docs in Plastic Surgery! Incredible surgeon! Press on Dr. T!
