Austin Surgeons - Mark R Lindsey

Went for skin sparing mastectomy and Dr. Brandt mistakenly removed my nipples. I can never get that back. Would NEVER recommend him.

I saw Dr Lopez. I really thought he knew his stuff and he had great bedside manner. I feel comfortable with him quickly. He also fully covered informed consent with risks, benefits, choice and my understanding of each of these. I'm scheduling surgery soon and feel really confident it will be great.

Dr Victor is so awesome, he took such good care of me. He is so sweet he actually took the time to see me and answer my questions. He didn't rush to get me out of his office. If you need surgery choose Dr B Victor, he's a rock star. Carolyn West

Dr. Askew is very friendly and knowledgeable. I felt comfortable with him and he took the time to answer all of my questions about my surgery. I highly recommend him. So few doctors have such a warm personality.

Dr. Glover's staff is friendly and helpful. He does not overbook so he saw me within five minutes of my scheduled appointment. He is knowledgeable and professional. He took time to explain my procedure and answered all my questions. It's evident he's not one of those doctors who are just in it for the money. I highly recommend him and his office.

Everyone at this office was polite, friendly and understanding. I needed to wait a few minutes extra to see the doctor, but was told he would be a little delayed. That helped not to feel forgotten. Dr. Abikhaled had reviewed my information and listened to my concerns. Then explained procedures in a way I could understand. He helped me feel assured and confident that I am in good hands!

Dr Mark Lindsey is an excellent surgeon. I highly recommend him if you are in need of a general surgeon. I felt that I was treated professionally and kindly. In addition, unlike many medical offices I have visited these past several years, his support staff is friendly and helpful. Such a welcome surprise! My surgery went smoothly, and I am well on my path to healing. Rest assured that you are in good hands with Dr Lindsey.

Dr. Lindsey is perhaps one of the best doctors I have ever been to. Based on his credentials alone he is probably one of the top surgeons in Austin. Not only that, he is personable, has a good bedside manner, was willing to explain details about my procedures, and did an excellent job on my surgeries with very clean incisions leaving little scarring. I highly recommend him.

The visit was great and done in a timely fashion and with professionalism. My personal consultation with Dr Glover was very helpful and very informative as to how the procedure will work and what to expect. Dr Glover went beyond to include medication and advised me where to get a hernia support band in addition to the surgery pending scheduling. I recommend this office to everyone who needs a hernia repair.

Everyone I spoke to recommended Dr. John Akibihalid of Austin Surgeons to perform my hernia surgery. From my first encounter with him and his office, I felt comfortable with the journey ahead. I wasn't disappointed but instead elated with the entire experience. Everyone on Dr. John's team is outstanding. Thank you all for a wonderful experience. TSC

Individually and collectively, this is a tremendously caring, competent and collaborative medical and support staff team.

Dr. Jeffrey Meynig is an amazing physician. I had a few painful episodes from gall stones alerting me to a problem. After blood work and ultrasound I was referred to this office by my primary care physician and I'm so glad I was as the whole office was wonderful to work with. It was easy to locate their office building and the ease of parking in the lot outside the building was the best. Dr. Meynig's staff was helpful and truly great to work with. Dr. Meynig is friendly and explained every step of the way before and after my gall bladder surgery.

He is focused on helping his patients. My incision healed quickly and I had no problems during surgery or recovery. Excellent experience all the way around! Dr. Meynig took care of me and the gall bladder problem and I'm so thankful for him and his entire staff at the office and during surgery.

Dr. Jeffrey Meynig is a wonderful doctor. He guided me through gall bladder surgery, and helped me navigate my particular constellation of symptoms and issues. He really listens closely, and applies his considerable knowledge and experience to his patient's individual problems. I'm extremely grateful for his care. He's definitely focused on helping his patients.

Let me start off by saying that I waited until all my mothers care had been taken care of with this horrible place before I even wrote this review. I wanted to make sure there was no retaliation as I have heard through the grapevine(after my moms surgery) that this is what this office does. This is absolutely the WORST place Ive EVER been to. Front desk lady.rude.

No smile, no hello, nothing. Maybe she was having a bad day. So what? Get over it. She looked at us as if WE were bothering her. She was too busy on her phone and stuffing her face with food. I could hear both of the african girls talking about inappropriate things that arent meant for us patients to hear. VERY UNCOMFORTABLE!. My mom seen Dr. Glover and he has no idea what a great surgeon means.

This kid looks fresh out of college and his inexperience shows. He was late to begin with then he stayed glued to his phone while in the room. My mother needed the surgery and this was the only place that would work with us regarding pymnt so basically she got stuck with this office. Day of surgery was bad. He has no bedside manner. Felt like we were treated like a number.

Her post-op visit was not any better. Girl at the front desk was guess what? Yup! On her phone AGAIN! Is this really what a so called GOOD OFFICE wants the patients to see everytime we come in? Dr. Glover is absolutely the last person I would recommend. I beg you all who read reviews before you go someplace. DO NOT GO HERE FOR ANY SURGERY. Theres tons of places that have better surgeons and staff.

I spoke with a lady regarding my payment also, Marybeth. Wow! If looks could kill. She gives you a horrible look like "you cant pay for surgery"? She says it rude but with a smile. I figured shes just a bitter old lady who lives with a lot ofcats. Im astonished that this place has gotten so many good reviews. I overheard staff talking bad about Dr. Glover and another doctor PLUS some of the other staff that work there.

Loud as if they were alone. I will definately let everyone I know how bad this place is in any way I can. Twitter, Facebook, word of mouth and here on Yelp. This place is definately the worst of the worst. Good riddens we never have to go back.

Just going to add to the accolades but they are well deserved. Review is specific to Dr Mynig and his staff. Abdominal mass was found by me and confirmed by my primary doctor and cat scan was done at a local hospital in Yoakum. Referred to Austin surgeons by a friend. Dr Mynig was one of two in the group who accepted our insurance so as you can see arriving here was almost random.

From the initial phone contact the treatment was personable, caring and fairly low key. All appreciated. Dr Mynig seemed concerned about my health from the 1st time we met. Mine was not an easy diagnoses as it turned out to be the rarest of tumors but Dr Mynig proceeded with caution and deliberation. Each step was clearly explained and every option was considered.

He took my well being and feelings into consideration with every move. Surgery was as we had expected or better and care following the procedure was as outstanding as the preparation. Good people to put your trust in at difficult times. There is not enough I can say. Eternally grateful.

Dr. Abikhaled, and his entire staff, are as good as they get! Surgery went perfectly and couldn't ask for better bedside manners, from everyone! Dr. Abikhaled wasn't covered by my insurance, so I paid out of pocket, because of his reputation. So glad I did - well worth it!

Most professional and kind people in medicine, we came 450 miles to see Dr. LIVINGSTON.amazing.

Top-notch surgeons. I had an open hernia repair, and it went so well that I didn't have to take any pain medication at all Dr. Abikhaled was not only a great surgeon, but he appears to be ahead of the curve on technology. Using a leave in anesthetic and closing the incision with glue instead of staples were really nice touches that few of the other surgeons that I contacted could do. I can't imagine using another surgeon if I needed something else done.

Well, no one likes to have to have a surgeon, but I'm proud to say my surgeon is Dr. Livingston. I was diagnosed with gallstones and was recommended to another facility. I wanted to do some research before choosing who I wanted operating on me. I've worked in healthcare for over 20 years and know some of the best recommendations come from the NURSES that work with the doctors. So.

I asked around and Dr. Livingston got consistently solid recommendations for being an excellent surgeon. This was my first experience on the patient side of interacting with a surgeon and am happy to report that Dr. Livingston took the time to make sure I was well informed of my options, risks, post op recovery time, etc. His medical assistant, Jennie was really helpful with my surgery scheduling and was very accessible when I had questions about the procedure and follow-up etc.

She really helped me feel comfortable when I had some anxiety post surgery. The surgery itself (laparoscopic cholecystectomy) was uncomplicated and there was hardly any scar tissue to speak of. The billing office helped me when I had some questions about my insurance. If you're gonna have to have surgery, I'd go with these guys. I have no complaints about any aspect of the care they provided to me.

Can I give 20+ stars for Dr John Abikhaled? Long story short. Went to ER with massive pain and discomfort. Nurse asked what pain level from 1 to 10. I told her 8 and she said "Girl, I think you're at a 12". Never been to a hospital or had surgery plus being new in town. Was I scared and nervous - HELL YA! I was in the hospital for almost a week. Dr. Abikhaled has the most awesome bedside manner.

He really cares for his patients and is VEEEERY thorough. Several of the staff in the hospital told me he's an excellent physician and that they referred their family members to him. I wish he could be my primary physician.

Before my experience with Dr. John Abikhaled, I was seriously terrified of surgery and general anesthesia. I am a young, fit female but I had been suffering for months from painful gallstone attacks. This girl loves eating chicken wings while watching football and basketball. My doctor referred me to Dr. Abikhaled. I am so thankful that he did! Dr. Abikhaled was so kind and gentle with me.

I explained that I was willing to suffer indefinitely from the horrendous child labor-like pains rather than have surgery with general anesthesia. He patiently listened to all of my irrational fears and answered all of my crazy questions. He walked me through the laparoscopic procedure using the da Vinci system and slowly helped ease my anxiety about anesthesia.

The surgery was so simple! I cannot believe I allowed myself to suffer for so long. I had soreness a few days afterward, but the walking helped greatly. I must also mention that the anesthesiologist, nurses and support staff at Seton Medical Center on 38th St. were AMAZING! I am so very grateful to Dr. Abikhaled. I hope to never have to look into his dreamy eyes again, but if I do, I know I'm in great hands!

I was fortunate to be referred to Dr. Meynig with Austin Surgeons by my PCP. Being new to Austin, I found out that I was going to have to have surgery. I made my appointment. Downloaded all my forms for my appointment and had them all filled out before my appointment. The office was very easy to find. The office has a private parking area easy to park and a Nice building.

The staff went above and beyond the call of duty. I was informed by the office that they were having a insurance issue. And to contact my insurance carrier. After contacting my insurance carrier, they advised me to go their website and pick another surgeon off their list. I was very uncomfortable doing that and call Dr. Meynig's office back and ask if I can print out the list of surgeons, if they would help me pick one. and they said "of course. " I did. and Dr. Meynig picked several surgeons for me. BUT the best part of this review is when I got home, I got a call from Dr. Meynig's office informing me that Dr. Meynig ask his insurance department to see if they cohld help me and they DID! Dr. Meynig even switch hospitals so I would be (in network).

I went for my final follow-up appointment yesterday after surgery and everything is perfect! I am so grateful to Austin Surgeons and for Dr. Meynig and his incredible staff! Thank-You!

Dr. Meynig took care of me. I had no idea that my gallbladder was in the issue. Old people have those problems and I'm only 33 years old! But alas it had to come out and that is where Dr. Meynig comes in. He took the time to explain the surgery, answer my questions, and most impartially did an incredible job in the operating room. My surgery took longer than usual, the gallbladder was in bad shape.

He managed to keep the entire procedure laparoscopic--no big cuts, and that was amazing. I do agree with some of the other reviewers that the front office staff is hit and miss. However, if i ever needed another surgery again Meynig gained my trust, and I highly recommend his service.

My regular provider recommended Dr. John Abikhaled for surgery for my hernia. Dr. A saw me immediately, asked when I would like to get it done and made the arrangements. On the day of the surgery he was prompt and confident and explained the procedure in detail. The surgery went without incident and he sent me home the same day. Turns out it was a double hernia, so I got two for the price of one!

Recovery was swift and uneventful. If he errs, it is on the side of caution. By this I mean he wants you to take it easier longer than your own instincts dictate. I have no hesitation in giving Dr. Abikhaled my very highest recommendations.

This review is more for John Abikhaled. I don't have any experience with any of the other surgeons. My first experience with Dr. Abikhaled was pretty scary. I had a 3 day old burst appendix, I was septic and in and out of conciousness. I passed out from the pain at my desk and was rushed into surgery. I was awake briefly when Dr. Abikhaled was doing a quick pre-op exam as I was being prepped.

He pressed on my lower abdomen to see how bad the pain was and I nearly punched him in the face. instead, I passed out again. Dr. Abikhaled saw me again after the surgery to explain what had happened to me. I thought my pain was a non issue and my macho attitude nearly killed me. Dr. Abikhaled saved my life. I have been back to see him for two other procedures, both inguinal hernia repairs.

Both complex. Every time, his prefessionalism and skill have led to faster recoveries and better health. If you have a friend that is a doctor, ask him for his top recommendations for a surgeon in Austin. I promise Dr. Abikhaled will be on that list. I hope you never need a surgeon, but if you do, this guy is the man.

People usually meet their surgeons one of two ways. #1 You discover you have a health issue that needs resolved through surgical means. You talk to your primary who then refers you to a surgeon or two or three. You visit with them, you do your homework and move forward with the surgery as planned. Or #2. You find yourself in a situation where you need surgery NOW and you could careless who does it as long as they have M.D. after their name and they can make the pain stop!

My surgery fell under #2 but lucky for me Dr. Mark Lindsey of Austin Surgeons was my surgeon. I met Dr. Lindsey while recovering from another surgery. He was asked to take a look at me and assess the situation, I am very glad he did. As you can imagine the situation was less then perfect but at no point did he appear unsure or insensitive. He was thorough and thoughtful, he did his best to make sure I fully understood what was going on and what needed to be done to correct it.

He was compassionate, kind and available to my family to answer their questions and concerns. After a successful surgery I did follow up with him at his office and found the staff to be very pleasant and helpful. I hope to never have to use his services again but if I do or any of my family or friends do I would not hesitate to recommend him.
