Alexandra Dresel Lovitt

Going in for a lipoma removal that Dr. Dresel assured me would be a simple procedure. After surgery, I was not taken care of, I had no drain from my surgery site and I had to call for information since I was concerned about how bad my surgery site looked. I had little to no information about what to do for aftercare. Two months after my surgery, I was so frustrated with my results and had no support from Dr. Dresel when I raised my concerns. One year later, the area I wanted so badly removed looks worse than it looked like before my surgery.

Hello everyone my name is Audrey Therman. I've looked at some of your reviews and I beg to differ in regards to this Dr. December 2011 I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism by Dr. Dresel, she stated that I'd a 2 8 cm goiter on my nodule and it needed to be removed. I agreed being I'd gained so much weight my thyroid was not producing adequate hormones. She scheduled my surgical procedure for January 5th 2012. Dr. Dresel setup this procedure in an outpatient facility in Presbyterian Hospital Dallas for 10am. I felt that she was assertive with her skill level. Well, unfortunately that was not the case. My family was patiently awaiting my return from recovery, and Dr. Dresel advised I would be out shortly. All the while I'm being rushed into OR being I went into respiratory failure upon completion of this procedure. I lay on life support for 4 days as my family prayed for me to breathe on my own. It was God that opened my eyes, to find the Dr. you've given 5 stars had paralyzed both my vocal chords and damaged my airway. Considerably, I was seen by Dr. Ted Mau of UT Southwestern hospital, where I would have immediate surgery after my visit being my airway was closing. My husband had taken me to visit Dr. Mau during an afternoon visit. Upon our leaving Dr. Mau would call my husband back and tell him that he wasn't comfortable with my going to sleep that night for fear that I might stop breathing. Thus, he scheduled for my immediate return to St. Paul Hospital of Dallas, Texas emergency room; where I would be admitted for immediate surgery being I'd an excessive amount of scar tissue that he attempted to scrap. But to no avail Dr. Danger had successfully ruined my life!! Prior to meeting with this so called Professional, I was very happy with my life as I'd been a "professional singer" for most of my life until I went under the knife! With the damage being irreversible February 14th 2012 I was trached. After theses findings my right vocal collapsed in its entirety and again I'm in surgery for 7.5 hours. I cannot tell you how this damaged made me almost want to kill myself! This woman has literally ruined the quality of my life! Of course I wrote the Medical Board yet they sided with her. In my efforts to retain an attorney, Dr. Dresel would then change her Medical notes to imply "I'VE A 52 YEAR OLD MORBIDITLY OBESE AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMAN THAT WENT INTO RESPIRATORY FAILURE UPON COMPLETION OF A THYROID PROCEDURE PERFORMED BY ME." We'll if she new this or felt that way prior to this procedure, why perform it in an outpatient environment? Beware Dr. Danger on the loose still practicing. Her husband is the head of Baylor Hospital Dallas!!!! BEWARE!!!!! TAKE PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES. HANDLE WITH CARE OR YOU'LL WIND UP LIKE ME. LOOK ME UP ON FACEBOOK AUDREY THERMAN REEVES Good morning world! I'm here in Dallas, Texas with a heavy heart as I was lying i n my bed this morning thinking of this review. It's 5:02am, and I felt it imperative to continue this review on "DR. DANGER." I've provided for your viewing bits and pieces of my story; yet I must go on because I wouldn't wish what "DR. DANGER!" did to me happening to my worst enemy. I've made mention that I'd as 2.8 cm goiter on my nodule, this was determined after "DR. DANGER!" after sending me to have a procedure performed where this rude man for which I cannot remember the name of the department. Would probe my neck with long sharp needles! I expressed to him that this was very procedure was extremely painful, where her would state in a very rude manner "Maam, if you want this procedure performed you better lye still!" Wow! How memories can rein one's mind after starting to tell your story! I wasn't offered by "DR. DANGER" any forms of alternatives! She would imply that according to the results from my testing performed that I'd this 2.8 cm goiter that needed to be removed immediately! People, again this is a woman that I trusted with my life! However, as I s

Dr. Dresel is an excellent surgeon. I had hyperparathyroidism. In October of 2012 she removed the 1 abnormal parathyroid. There were -0- complications and NO scar. Prior to the surgery she took time to throughly explain my options and the surgery. Quite different from the first surgeon I saw who said one sentence of my diagnosis and my nurse will be in to answer your questions. At the time I saw her she had a -0- post surgery infection rate. Her office staff were also great.

I am an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse & I have the utmost confidence in Dr. Dresel. She performed my minimally invasive partial thyroidectomy in 2015 and a complete thyroidectomy in January of 2017 for cancer of the gland. Dr. Dresel is an extremely skilled surgeon and my scar is 1.5 inches in length and it is barely visible. As a nurse, I am very educated on quality and standards of care both pre and post operatively & Dr. Dresel exceeded my own expectations. I highly recommend her!

Dr. Dresel removed my gallbladder less than a month ago laproscopically. She was absolutely amazing! She was personable, gave me more than enough information, and answered all of my MANY questions with patience. Scheduling was so easy and her staff was great! The surgery itself was performed at the Texas Women's Health Surgery Center and was so much easier than I thought it would be. The nurses were very comforting, and the drugs were fantastic! I highly recommend Dr. Dresel!

Terrible office staff. Rude nurse. She claimed to be a nurse, but who knows. Nurses are professional. These people working at this doctor's office are very low grade. I am a former patient who had surgery by this surgeon and do not recommend her at all based on treatment recieved by her office staff and her lack of interest in her patients.
