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.

Excellent Surgeon
Dr. Waldrop performed a breast reduction procedure for me two years prior. The results were perfect. I am a nurse and had worked in Surgery for years prior to move to Chattanooga. One of my specialties in Surgery was plastic surgery. I researched and selected him as my surgeon of choice. I was impressed with him from the first time I met him and throughout the time of our visits involving my procedure. The results of my surgery were beautiful and I could not be happier. The one issue I had, a year later and not related to the surgery, he quickly responded to and resolved. As a surgical nurse and naturally one that would already be a critic of any plastic surgeon- I will always return to him for all of my plastic surgery needs and feel very confident in his abilities. I highly recommend Dr. Waldrop.

He ruined my lip. I had a pin sized growth on the edge of my lip & he cut from under my lip about half up to my nose & used very thick stitches. He is a sorry excuse for a plastic surgeon!!!!

Breast reduction
Dr Waldrop did an amazing job on my breast reduction. It was for medical reasons however I’m very happy with the looks of my newer and smaller breast. Not only has it help with my medical reasons but it has improved my self esteem tremendously. His staff is very pleasant and his nurse Heather was helpful. If I had to add a negative it would be that I wished I was told I needed to purchase a sports/surgical bra before my surgery instead of after. I would definitely recommend Dr Waldrop.

I am dissatisfied with my surgery. I still have many wrinkles and have been golf D by professionals in the field that it doesn’t look like I ever had a fave lift. I can’t with good conscience recommend Dr. Waldron. I have had the micro needling which made no difference. I have spent almost $15,000 dollars to be so disappointed with my results.

Of all doctors who I see, Jimmy Waldrop is my favorite. He has performed 3 surgeries on my nose / face as a result of MOHS surgery and is a fantastic surgeon. His follow up appointments are very timely and he runs his calendar well. In addition the nurses are great.
