Thanks to your support, we’ve been able to keep the doors open at Redbud and continue providing breast reconstruction care to women across Central Texas. We’ve made real progress — contracting with several insurance companies (not United) and that means more patients can continue to access care outside of corporate medicine. I’ve also officially launched a nonprofit to help bridge the gaps in our healthcare system and fund the free surgeries I’ve been quietly doing for years. The nonprofit can h

The timing of your diagnosis shouldn’t decide your breast reconstruction but for too many patients, it does. I just saw a patient who had a mastectomy a few weeks ago and a tissue expander placed. She’s self-employed and already met her $10,000 deductible this year. That means any surgery she does before December will be covered but if her next procedure happens after January 1st, she’ll have to pay another $10,000 out-of-pocket when her deductible resets. Because of that, she told me she can’t

Earlier this week, I canceled a complex breast reconstruction case because the hospital didn’t have the staff we needed to do it safely. My patient and I agreed—we weren’t going to compromise. The next day, the hospital found the staff. We did the case the right way. Standing up for what’s right worked this time. But here’s the thing: as physicians, we’re expected to uphold the highest standards—no shortcuts, no compromises. And yet we’re constantly asked to accept compromises everywhere else: s

After cases, I testified in strong support of Senate Bill 1137—because every woman deserves access to breast reconstruction and no one should have to take out loans or make exorbitant cash payments to access the breast reconstruction that’s best for them. I’ve spent over a decade offering DIEP flaps to patients across the country who were denied access—or told they’d need to 40k to 200 k pay out-of-pocket while battling breast cancer. DIEP Flap reconstruction is one of the most advanced and rest

Last week, I had a patient scheduled to get her implants placed after mastectomy and tissue expanders. She wanted her surgery done at my outpatient center—Redbud Surgery Center—because we prioritize doing what’s best for people affected by breast cancer. But her insurance denied the surgical materials I recommended. They didn’t just deny them—they told me what I had to use instead. The problem? They’re completely different products. One dissolves naturally over time. The other is made from human
