Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Had breast reduction. While surgery went well, the recovery process is a whole different story. He does not stay in the office long enough to explain anything to you. Says you're fine and healing great. I had pus coming from my incision, and he told me I would be fine, maybe just over reacting. The next day I go to Urgent Care, end up testing positive for a staph infection and spent 4 days in the hospital on IV antibiotics. Once, I saw my primary care doc, I started healing like I should. I have uneven boobs now and more scarring than necessary because of the infection. It didn't help that I pulled a 6 inch suture from my incision. The 2 stars is because the office is incredibly sweet. My advice. Go elsewhere.

Dr. Huddleston was absolutely wonderful! He supported my decision and explained to me how he would do the surgery. He made me feel confident in the surgery and his abilities. The surgery went amazingly great also! All the crew at the outpatient center are top professionals in this pandemic era! I am 1 month out and have healed well and so very pleased! Thank you to all the staff at his office and Dr. Hudddleston for all their support! I am so pleased!

Dr. Huddlestone done a breast reduction and lift, ( I had nursed 3 children. He also did a tummy tuck on me 12 years ago. He preformed both surgeries at the same time. (I had an terrible scar from exploratory surgery from a ruptured appendix as a teenager on my stomach that I wanted removed}. He removed that. Now 12 years later my stomach is still mostly flat and my breast were greatly improved. I would recommend him again and give him 5 stars for his work. He has an excellent bedside manerism and is a great doctor.

Dr. Huddleston does not listen. He spends no time with his patients. He has no bedside manner. The work he did on me has to be redone. I got sepsis and I told him something was not right with my surgery. He didn't agree and I ended up in ER very sick. I had to have surgery to remove what he had done. I am a cancer patient. I would not recommend him, at all.

He did a terrible job on me. I went in for a medically necessary breast reduction. I wore a g size bra. He removed what was supposed to have been enough to make me a d-dd cup. I'm so asymmetrical that I can't find bras to fit both breasts anymore. I came out looking like a freak, with what looked like 4 breasts. I felt like a freak. My nipple's weren't in the right places, and were brown and white spotted. He told me and my daughters that I would come out like a teenager with nice perky boobs.
