Hi Janie,

We have several good Texas doctors on our list. I'll post them.

TEXAS

DR. SHUJAAT ALI KHAN, M.D., P.A., F.A.C.S.

Medical Plaza Professional Building,

800, 8th Avenue, Suite 200

Fort Worth, Texas, 76104

Office – (817) 335-6363

Fax – (817) 870-1222

Toll Free – 1-800-434-4898

info@...

Comment from one of our ladies: " My explant doctor was Dr. Shujaat Khan ten

years ago. . . I think he did a good job of explanting me. However, when I tried

discussing the implant situation with him, he became very angry! At that time he

was adament that breast implants don't cause health problems. The problem was

the attorneys. . . .Also, his office did not inform me that my insurance would

not cover my surgery until the day before the surgery. He was considerably more

expensive and the surgical center he uses for explant really sticks it to you

without telling you in advance what the charges will be.You may want to question

him thoroughly. "

DR. DORA, plastic surgeon,

Houston, TX

DR. STEVEN M. HAMILTON, M.D., F.A.C.S.

St. Luke's Medical Tower,

6624 Fannin Suite 1650

Houston, Texas 77030

1-713-797-1007

http://www.nemch.org/medicalstaff/dhamiltons.html

Very thorough and knowlegeable of silicone issues

Dr. Karin Montero P/S

11149 Research Blvd. Suite 200

Austin, TX 78759

(512) 343-2400

http://pages.sbcglobal.net/karinmonteromd/english/main.htm

(Dr. Montero has been suggested by many ladies; however, the

one recent operative report we reviewed, she did not remove that

lady's implants " en bloc " although she did do a total capsulectomy. Question

her carefully and get it in writing she will make every effort to remove

yours that way)

Dr. P. Melmed P/S

777 Forest LN,. #10

Dallas, TX 75230

(214)661-7755

http://www.perfectyourself.com/search/surgeon.asp?sid=2899

On principle, will not place any breast implants in any woman. Explantations

only.

Dr. J Rea, surgeon

Environmental Health Center

8345 Walnut Lane Suite 220

Dallas, TX 75231

214-368-4132

email: contact@...

(Very good, particularly if you have multiple

chemical sensitivities and/or allergies making

explant more complicated).

Rod J. Rohrich, MD,FACS

Dallas Plastic Surgery Institute

Baylor Medical Center / Dallas

411 N. Washington Street, Ste. 6000

Dallas, TX 75246

http://www.drrohrich.com/

Dr. Rohrich is Professor & Chairman of the Division of Plastic & Reconstructive

Surgey at The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. He has a

clinical practice at Baylor University Medical Center & Zale Lipshy University

Medical Center at Southwestern Medical Center.

Dr. Rohrich's Baylor Office is much more organized and easier to work with, than

his Zale Lipshy Office. Dr. Rohrich 'knows' there are, indeed, problems with

breast implants, and does not try to talk you into replacing implants. He was a

significant researcher & inventor of the trilucent implants. He has a very

impressive CV. He also has a wife, Dianne Gibby, a plastic surgeon in private

practice at Medical City Dallas, and none of us would care to use her, for

several reasons.

I must also tell you that Dr. Rohrich has been on retainer with Dow for several

years now; which simply means you should be careful about information you report

to him, and tests you have him run. I always had my PCP do all my blood work,

and simply took lab copies to Dr. Rohrich, and Dr. Rohrich does not know that I

know this.

My experience & outcome with Dr. Rohrich was great --- I just was not too

comfortable finding out about his association with Dow, although it has never

affected me!

MAM-NSIF@...

DR. ROLAND WOLF,

1100 - 19th St.,

Abilene, TX 79601,

1-915-677-5169

(New to our list; be certain to get in writing from him he will

remove your implants " en bloc " and do a total capsulectomy, if at all possible.

Please report any experiences, good or bad, with him.)

Dr. Fabian Worthing P.S

17070 Red Oak Dr. Suite 307

Houston, TX 77090

(281)440-0617

http://www.drworthing.com/

(This surgeon takes VIDEO TAPE of your explant!)

PATRICK HODGES, M.D.

8220 Walnut Hill, Suite 206

Dallas, Texas 75231

(214) 739-5760

Hi Janie,

I'm glad you find this board helpfu! We just want women to get the help they

need to get their health back.

What kind of issues are you having with your implants?

If you do go for an explant, and you have systemic health issues, please make

sure you thoroughly discuss the need for a total capsulectomy with your explant.

It is vital for healing!

Keep us posted!
