Reviews of Dr. Joshua A. Lemmon, MD (Plastic Surgery)

Vannia Atao

I had always wanted breast augmentation surgery and never had the courage to do it. Finally after some serious schooling, I decided to gift myself some new assets. I chose Dr. Lemmon based on his amazing work that I’ve seen in person and on social media. I had the surgery about a month ago and I couldn’t be happier. It was the best decision I have ever made. I get so many compliments on my new friends and they look so natural. I’m a month out and they are healing just fine. The staff at Dr. Lemmon’s Office are so prompt, kind, and professional. I don’t have a single complaint. If any of my friends want to go through breast augmentation surgery, I would highly recommend Dr. Lemmon and his office.

Dr. Joshua Lemmon and staff are excellent! My breast CA journey began 1 1/2 years ago. Soon after the diagnosis he did the 1st reconstruction surgery, and recently I had the last surgery. The entirety of the cancer treatments are mostly behind me. I am grateful to Dr. Lemmon and his nurse Janice, as I was always treated with kindness and respect, despite me asking the same questions over and over. I'm a registered nurse and very particular about EVERYTHING related to my care. He and every member of his staff (including the scheduler and billing/insurance staff) were always on top of things. They took much of the worry away from me and my family so we could concentrate on healing. I appreciate his skill and professionalism!

Dr. Lemmon was recommend by a family member. I was brca2 positive and blessed enough to have a preventative mastectomy and diep flap reconstruction. I had complications and no healing issues. I loved going to Dr. Lemmons Office. I never waited past my appointment time and wasn’t in the room long before he would come in. He always would listen and answer any questions we had. The hospital nurses said I had the dream team. Dr. Lemmon and Dr. Canavan were highly thought of at the hospital.

(PART 1) CONSUMER BEWARE- I suffered medical malpractice at the negligent hands of Dr. Joshua A. Lemmon and his unempathic nurse Janice Couch. I am a breast cancer survivor and hired Dr. Lemmon for my reconstruction, based on the recommendation of my breast surgeon, Dr. Jenevieve Hughes. I had my tissue expanders placed by Dr. Lemmon on July 19th. Roughly 2 weeks following, I called Dr. Lemmon after hours reporting redness and oozing pus from a drainage pump located near my right breast. I also mentioned that the coloration of the fluid inside the pump had changed. Dr. Lemmon didn’t seem concerned and advised that I remove my drainage pumps myself without explaining how. Due to the pain I was experiencing, I allowed my husband to remove all 4 of them from my body after watching a YouTube tutorial. The Dr. never offered me the option to see him in the office, nor did he prescribe antibiotics. Because my immune system was weakened due to just completing chemo therapy, and having had my sentinel lymph nodes removed on that breast, one would think that more would have been offered. There is no way to prove what I believe was the catalyst for the nightmares to follow, however it should have been a red flag of the Drs. thoughtlessness over my care. A couple of weeks later, I began experiencing constant, excruciating pain from that same breast. It was debilitating; it hurt to breath, sleep, and move without around-the-clock pain meds. Over the course of two weeks I persistently called and complained about that breast; I had a fever, it was swollen, hot to the touch, red, and the pain was worsening. I recall practically having to beg nurse Janice for antibiotics when I developed a fever. She continually dismissed my concerns, suffering, and tears over the course of these weeks, to the point that I finally contacted the business office about her carelessness. From that point forward, they had me speaking with Dr. Lemmon’s scheduler for all of my medical concerns. The scheduler paged Dr. Lemmon twice for me regarding my right breast complications. Nobody ever phoned me back after these contacts. Likewise, when I went to see the Dr. he insisted that I strained a muscle or had a suture irritation. You would think that after seeing my breast in the condition it was in, twice, and being contacted several times after hours, that he might try to investigate my issue further. Never did Dr. Lemmon order a test, blood work, NOTHING, instead kept throwing more prescription pain meds at me that he advised me to take every 2 hours. I attempted to take the medications as prescribed, but was no better off because I was now vomiting, nauseous, high, and STILL in pain. (CONTINUED on post from husband/Jeremy Gainer)

I first met Lemmon last year after being diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma and he was given the task of putting me back together after Dr Steckler cut me up. I could not have had a better experience. He is a great doctor and very down to earth. I actually enjoy going back to him for follow ups.

I have had the pleasure of going to Dr. Lemmon & his staff for years & through the years I have referred many friends who now see Dr. Lemmon as well. Dr. Lemmon is so personable, very thorough, always takes time to listen & gives great recommendations which don’t include trying to “push another product/procedure”, but rather giving advise as to what he truly feels would help you get the best results you are trying to achieve. He treats all his patients with the highest respect & as such has built a huge following of very loyal patients! Like Dr. Lemmon, his staff is so incredibly friendly & helpful which only makes the total office experience that much more positive. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring Plastic Surgeon who is focused on giving his patients the best outcomes possible!

Dr. Lemmon is a wonderful surgeon. I have always been self conscious about my chest size and finally ended up visiting Dr Lemmon. His suggestions on type, shape and size were very conservative and I couldn’t be happier with the results. I drove from Houston to Dallas to have my surgery done, so that speaks volumes itself. He really is a great surgeon.

(PART 2) Nevertheless, I continued to advocate for my concerns, until finally the Dr. removed 50cc’s of saline, gave me a fitted bra, and prescribed antibiotics, because at this point, he stated that he, “was afraid I had an infection.” Then, resulting from his revelation said he wanted to push me into surgery 5 days later. I went home content thinking that soon I’d have some relief, however as I began telling others that I was going into surgery, with the possibility of an infection, they cautioned me of the dangers. After speaking with my Cigna nurse case manager, she urgently advised that I go to the emergency room, and that is what I did. The Drs. at Methodist Richardson hospital believed I had an infection and admitted me based on their assessments. Dr. Lemmon showed up to my room that night and stated that he was surprised to hear that I had come to the ER. Really?!? I explained to him that all the nurses, attending and infectious disease docs believed I had an infection and he told me that they didn’t know what they were talking about and have to diagnose me with something in order to admit me. He stood bedside and told me and my husband that I do not have an infection. Then proceeded to show us pictures of infected breasts from his iPhone, irritatingly stating “If you had an infection, THIS is what your breast would look like!” Because he firmly believed this, without any proof, he then left me with the options of removing the expander the following day or waiting until my upcoming scheduled reconstruction surgery, which I might add was a DIEP flap procedure- using my own tissue. He called me on my cell phone the following morning to know of my decision, I told him that I would wait to have my reconstruction surgery that was now just a few more days away. Even if I had decided to go into surgery that day, Dr. Lemmon had not communicated this possibility with anyone at the hospital, so they had me on blood thinners and a regular diet. Despite the hospitals efforts to tackle my infection, their heavy duty antibiotics were not making the symptoms go away. I was still in agonizing pain, the redness was spreading and I continued with a fever. By my third day of hospitalization, Dr. Lemmon, now changing his tune, advised that I go into emergency surgery to remove my tissue expander. I was in surgery for an hour and when I got out, I was left lopsided with just one normal looking breast. The psychological effects from looking mutilated were significant, but nothing compared to the traumatizing experience that I endured from Dr. Lemmon and staff. From the cultures he took from my breast during surgery, I had a confirmed case of pseudomonas and a suspected case of staph. Resulting from this, I had to get a PICC line placed and discharged after a 5 day stay in the hospital on high dosages of antibiotics. When I confronted Dr. Lemmon, he told me how he had cancelled his family vacation plans for that Labor Day weekend to tend to me at the hospital. The audacity! I could have DIED had my infections gone systemic or infected my good tissue if I had gone through with my reconstruction at the Dr. advising. He should be thanking me for going to the ER and sparing him a lawsuit. If I can save one other person from having to go through what I experienced with Dr. Lemmon and nurse Janice, this review has been worth my time. I guarantee if Dr. Lemmon and Janice treated me this way, they most definitely treat all of their patients this carelessly.

I couldn’t have asked for a better result from Dr. Joshua Lemmon. From our initial consultation to my post surgery check ups, Dr. Lemmon and his staff were absolutely amazing and friendly, and didn’t get annoyed with my dozens of questions. I requested a natural looking breast augmentation and Dr. Lemmon delivered that-taking me from a very small A to full C without looking disproportionate to my body.

Valerie Kilgore

I'm just one month post op having an upper and lower blepharoplasty. I couldn't be happier. Dr. Lemmon was very friendly and knowledgeable. I loved his assistant Janice too. No problems at all and I'm happy to be healing and have the recovery behind me!

I was referred to Dr. Lemmon by my internist when I asked him to send me to best doctor in town for carpal tunnel. Office visits were simple and never had to wait more than 10-20 minutes. I had a minimally invasive release on both hands in the surgery center in the same building as Dr. Lemmon's office. Literally felt almost 100% better in 24 hours. Wish I would have done it years ago.

Dr Lemmon changed my life!! I love my results! He is an amazing surgeon and truly cares. Office visits were always a good experience and his staff was extremely helpful. Dr Lemmon never made me feel rushed during my appointments. He answered all my questions and explained the procedure throughly.

Carla Hill

He did a phenomenal job, couldn’t have found a better surgeon! Very proud of my results two yrs. later!

I was diagnosed with breast cancer and had bilateral mastectomies last year and was referred to Dr. Lemmon for reconstruction. Dr. Canavan was my breast surgeon. Dr. Lemmon and Dr. Potter did my breast reconstruction with my own abdominal tissue at the Baylor hospital in Plano. The entire process was very emotional for me. Dr. Lemmon and his team were with me every step of the way. I just completed my nipple tattooing and when I look in the mirror I truly look and feel better than ever before. Thank you ALL for giving me my life back!!

I finally did it! I had been contemplating a breast augmentation for years! Mother of 2 and always small chested, I wanted to look proportional and for my shirts to fit. Dr. Lemmon and his staff are so great! He made me feel confident in my.decision. They surgery and recovery was so much better than I had anticipated and I had a speedy recovery. All my visits were easy, informational and I felt taken care of. I am so happy with my results both in recovery time and how I look. I am so appreciative to Dr. Lemmon and his staff. I feel GREAT!
