THIS IS LONG- Story time- breast lift was scheduled for .buttt My surgery iwas cancelled by him (Dr.Hoy)🤣 I was told by Dr. HOY that he doesn't feel comfortable doing my breast lift NOR WILL HE REVISE A SPOT HE messed UP because he thinks my surgery "expectations are not realistic " and because I was rude to staff when I said it was unprofessional to ask me to do a pre op VIRTUAL visit when it was supposed to be in person and they rescheduled me 3 times. When I told him that previously I have epilepsy, can't drive, and my husband would be taking half a day off work.. well I reminded him and he told me "that's not my problem" and much more. All last week the staff, they did was give me a hard time when I asked questions and the staff told me that's not their job. anything I asked was "It's not my job and I'm just doing my job. (Side note, My apt waS 1:15 , i was on time, they took patients that were later than me and I didn't see him till 2:30. BETCHA BUM it was on purpose) He says,, he doesn't think anything was unprofessional. Now, the spot he fd up isn't visible to anyone and it's part of the scar and it's not horrible, and I wanted it fixed. And he had me also add a belly button revision so my breast and revision could be done together because he admitted last time that he doesn't like how my belly button came out and he'd like to fix it...everyone else thinks it looks fine so maybe he wanted to just do it for himself. ANYWAYS HE USES OLD TECHNIQUES AND WAS RUDE WHEN I ASKED HIM QUESTIONS about other ones and why he chose the one he did for me, about the techniques, everything I asked, he just repeated himself. So, because I asked questions, my expectations aren't realistic? I had no idea what to expect since they had nothing for me to look at and I was only getting a lift.. and going off 2 pictures I previously saW and he did great. So, I asked him whaT his expectations were because that would help me . He just didn't answer, and kept telling me my expectations aren't realistic...I never told him my expectations. I asked him again, ok what are your expectations as my surgeon, give me some kind of idea? He kept repeating himself n then tells me find another surgeon. SO I GUESS HE HAS NO ANSWERS N I CAN'T ASK QUESTIONS cuz that means expectations aren't realistic? Well I think this was a sign that I should not have it done or not done by him. I prayed a lot this week for a sign UGHHH fix my booobs. I had a good experience with him for my tuck beside a part of the vertical scar and felt comfortable with him but now I'm understanding why he has a low rating...and this was a shorter version of my story.🤣

I received compassionate care from Dr Hoy after having a mastectomy. He took time to explain the surgical procedure and answered my questions. He is calm and empathetic and has a gentle manner that puts you at ease.

Originally I liked Dr. Hoy. His staff not so much. When I had complications after my implant surgery, (through no fault of my own) they were so quick to wash their hands of me. I had not quick smoking in enough time for my mastectomy/ expander implantation surgery, and ever since then, this was the underlying issue... For him. I did quit after that. And I take full responsibility for my actions. I eventually got the expanders in and then and implants placed. Less than a week later one breast was extremely inflamed, hot to the touch and obviously infected. I called, was advised to go to E.R. I did immediately (not know omg or being told what to expect. When I was told I would need at least 5 days of IV Antibiotics and implant removal I was crushed. I had a young daughter at home who had never been without me. I asked how long between rounds of antibiotics, -7hrs-. I asked to go home , get some of my things and tell my family and I would be back in 4 hrs. It was like I asked to get my original breasts back. Everyone was irritated. I came back, was admitted and had his office call and yell at me to get back to hospital because I was sick. So insulting and judgements with no reason. The only bloodwork done on me ordered by Dr. Hoy was a nicotine test. Like smoking anything caused 2, yes 2 different bacteria’s... one in each breast, so I lost both again. All said and done at post op appointment, it was suggested I go see someone else. As a nurse, I’ve never been so all around offended by one office. Everyone’s experience is different, I just wanted to share mine.

Dr. Hoy did an amazing job on my recent breast argumentation. He made me feel very comfortable from start to finish. I couldn’t be happier with the results... we discussed exactly what I wanted and he gave me his professional opinion and together we came up with the exact look I was going for. Dr. Hoy made me feel very safe and confident in his ability as a surgeon. His staff and assistants were also extremely helpful and attentive the whole way through. Making this such an easy and smooth process. I highly recommend Dr. Hoy. He really changed my life as crazy as that sounds but I owe it all to him and I can’t thank him enough.

Get another opinion after your visit with the doctor. He only knows “gummie bears” which I gather anyone can put in, and not someone to see if you are in a vulnerable state with breast cancer. I waited over and hour, the front desk staff got tired of me asking “how much longer”, and then he had me undress in front of him. Clearly a young hot shot, and not my choice or recommendation for any woman.

I’m only giving 1 star because that’s the minimum. I underwent a mastectomy and that in itself was devastating, but to deal with a doctor who is so ARROGANT and DISMISSIVE made my situation even harder and more upsetting to deal with. Dr. Hoy is INPATIENT & INSENSITIVE to the numerous concerns of Breast Cancer patients. He is “MATTER OF FACTLY RUDE”! Dr. Hoy was NEVER on time & he NEVER offered the courtesy of an apology. He was INSENSITIVE to my need for answers. BIG RED FLAG!!!!!!! Run!!!

Dr. Hoy is such a great surgeon. He is kind and caring, he takes the time to listen to all of your fears and answer all of your questions. He is helping me through the toughest fight of my life. Daniella is the best too. She makes me feel so comfortable in such an uncomfortable place in my life b
