I saw Dr. Whidden in January of 2023 for a breast augmentation procedure. From my very first contact with Macleod Trail Plastic Surgery when booking my consultation, to the actual procedure itself, I was very pleased! All the staff and Dr. Whidden were very knowledgeable, courteous, and kind.

At every step I had all my questions answered, all my concerns addressed, and I was never made to feel put out or pressured. The day of the surgery I was feeling nervous, but the staff made me feel so comfortable and at ease. My procedure went well, and the recovery was a breeze. I am so pleased with my surgery, my only regret is not doing it sooner!

I highly recommend Dr. Whidden, and I thank everyone at Macleod Trail Plastic Surgery for this fantastic adventure!

Dr. Whidden performed my Mastopexy (Breast Lift) about 8 months ago now and I honestly couldn't be happier with the results. Some days it still doesn't seem real that I have these perfect breasts now! Dr. Whidden and his team were absolutely wonderful to deal with and everyone was so welcoming and professional. I felt comfortable and confident in the surgery after meeting with Dr. Whidden and I will be forever grateful for what he did! My whole experience was incredible and I would recommend him over and over again. Thank you to everyone at McLeod Trail Plastic Surgery!

I recently had a breast augmentation surgery done at Macleod Trail Plastic Surgery. Dr. Whidden is fantastic, his work is flawless and his bedside manner is extraordinary. The entire team at Macleod Trail Plastic Surgery was friendly and informative, walking me through every step of the process. Trista specifically was very helpful.

Prior to my surgery I had looked into many different surgeons across Canada as well as internationally. I choose Dr Whidden because of his amazing reputation, extensive experience and he is local to Calgary. I could not be happier with the results.

Following my surgery, I had more pain than I anticipated and I called the 24 hour emergency line on a Saturday evening. Dr Whidden promptly returned my call and was able to help me right away which was very much appreciated.

I highly recommend Macleod Trail Plastic Surgery, specifically Dr. Whidden. Thank you to all the staff at Macleod Trail Plastic Surgery for helping make my dream come true.

Dr. Whidden performed my tummy tuck, HE WAS AMAZING. His work is amazing I cannot be happier with the results. If you are looking for a plastic surgeon for a tummy tuck I would stop looking and go with Dr. Whidden. I went to a few consultations I LITERALLY did the work for you. Stop looking and book with Dr. Whidden!! He is so smart, his bed side manor is out of this world and I work in healthcare. It was extremely obvious he did not want to take any short cuts with me and I appreciate him changing my life so much. THANK YOU AND YOUR STAFF 10/10 all around!!!

I previously had breast augmentation in NB and when I moved to AB and decided I wanted to get a rhinoplasty, my NB surgeon recommended Dr Whidden as they know each other well. During my consultation Dr Whidden went on and on about how my NB surgeon did things wrong for my breast surgery when that isn't even relevant to my rhinoplasty. Very unprofessional and rude. He also could barely do anything I wanted for my rhinoplasty but another plastic surgeon in Calgary was able to do everything I was looking for and more. Definitely do not go to Dr Whidden for rhinoplasties or if you want someone that is professional and kind.

Dr. Paul Whidden's response
Thank you so much for allowing us the opportunity to respond to your review. Dr. Whidden was quite disheartened to hear this was your impression as this certainly was not his intention and he has great respect for your surgeon in NB. Your breast surgery was brought up in consultation because your surgeon included information in his referral letter to Dr. Whidden concerning a connective tissue disorder he suspected you may have that could impact your candidacy for rhinoplasty surgery. Upon examining you, Dr. Whidden felt you did not have this condition and that you could proceed with rhinoplasty surgery. He was only attempting to answer your question as to why you ended up having two breast surgeries rather than one by explaining the procedures you had and what his surgical approach would have been given his own experience. This was not intended as an insult to your surgeon in any way and he is very sorry that this was how you perceived that information.
As far as your rhinoplasty, Dr. Whidden felt he gave an honest portrayal of what he thought could be achieved through surgery. If you have since found a surgeon that feels they can more closely meet your expectations, then we are very pleased for you and hope you have a wonderful result! Thank you again for giving us the opportunity to hear your point of view as it is always helpful and a learning opportunity to see how information may be interpreted by our patients. In turn, we hope that we were able to help clarify any misconceptions concerning Dr. Whidden's intentions.

This guy doesn't really care about his patients. Seems he can turn it on and off when he pleases, was not happy with the care I received from him.

I had my breast augmentation in March and couldn’t be happier with the results! I was a bit hesitant on the size we chose because the number seemed so big but he assured me with extensive measurements we took at my consult that this would give me the outcome I was hoping for. He was absolutely right! I couldn’t recommend him enough. The surgery centre was so clean and the staff was amazing. Everyone has great bedside manner and made me feel super comfortable. 10/10

I saw Dr. Whidden a year ago, hoping for breast augmentation. Dr. Whidden suggested a lift and augment another time. I trusted his professional opinion and I am so glad I did! I was thrilled with my lift results. Recently I had augmentation and again, incredible results!
I felt discomfort from surgeries, but no pain and I didn’t need much down time from work.
Dr. Whidden and his staff (especially Trista) are very personable and made me feel Comfortable, valued and safe in each stage of the processes.
Highly recommend!!
