  I cannot say enough positive things about Dr. Whidden, his medical and administrative teams and his new Calgary hospital. Together, they make this relatively unpleasant experience as pleasant as could be. From the front reception, anesthesiologist, nurses that take care of you before and after surgery and at follow-up appts and Dr. Whidden himself, everyone is so professional & knowledgeable, yet compassionate, supportive and empathetic – always considerate of the fact that you are nervous, somewhat shy and a bit emotional. The new hospital (opened a few years ago) on MacLeod trail is beautiful and welcoming. My first visit to Dr. Whidden was over 10 years ago. He came highly recommended by close friends and (so many) acquaintances for breast augmentation (implants) so I booked my consult with him. I had a very athletic physique at that time and just wanted to look a bit more feminine (but still natural). He spent a lot of time explaining the procedure and letting me know what to expect. I had the breast augmentation (sub-pectoral/under the muscle) a couple of months later and due to the fact that I had so much muscle tissue (due to years of weight training), my results were not symmetrical (thick muscle was pushing one of the implants further down than expected). Obviously I was upset about this but Dr. Whidden kindly assured me that he could correct this – and although it wasn’t his fault, he did the corrective surgery soon after at no additional cost to me. Some people may think this is a negative thing but I know others who have not taken my advice (recently) and have gone outside of the city to have breast augmentation surgery with another well-known surgeon and were not happy with the results and there was no subsequent help provided. My results, on the other hand, were perfect after the corrective surgery. Fast forward 10 years (after having my kids) and I’ve seen Dr. Whidden and his team a few more times, for breast reduction/lift (smaller implant replacement) and for abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) and to remove a cyst that formed on my lip (after having my tooth go through the inside). While he may be a bit more expensive than some other surgeons, there was NO hesitation on my part given my past experience with him – Dr. Whidden is definitely a perfectionist… exactly what everyone wants when it comes to surgeries performed on their bodies, right?! There was no one else I could trust to do such an impeccable job on these areas – my results have been life-changing. Again, I have a friend who did not take my advice to see Dr. Whidden and she went elsewhere for her tummy tuck and she now has issues with her ‘new’ belly button – my ‘new’ belly button looks very natural – this is not an easy task. What I probably like most about Dr. Whidden are his ethical standards. I know he has age & weight restrictions on certain surgeries (thankfully) and I’ve talked to him about other cosmetic surgeries that I was interested in and he just won’t do them as he knows the results are not consistent or as good as expected (due to gravity, and our natural activity – not due to a surgeon’s skill). I appreciate that he’s honest about surgery limitations and the outcomes and it’s saved me a lot of money - knowing his opinion has prevented me from looking elsewhere for another surgeon to perform the procedure. I like that he’s not just trying to book surgeries and make money (without the benefit to the client)… I respect that he actually cares about people and providing quality procedures – it’s how he has built his clientele to what it is today. I highly recommend Dr. Whidden for any cosmetic procedure – you will get the results you want.
