Garth Meldrum MD LLC

Dr. Meldrum and his team are very knowledgeable, empathetic, and take time to figure out everything you're asking for. He's taking extra time with my case due to breast cancer complications. I'm sooo grateful that he was recommended to me. In the beginning I was skeptical, but I now see the vision coming to fruition. I also appreciate Tiffany, Ellie, and Dr. Meldrum's assistant Christy... they're all so helpful and kind. The office is also clean and modern with comfy robes. 😁

As a breast cancer survivor who went through a bilateral mastectomy and reconstruction, I look at myself in the mirror every day, and I still can't believe how incredible the results are. Thanks to the amazing work of my doctors, I truly don't recognize that they are reconstructions. It's like a miracle every time I see myself.

I underwent ear reconstructive surgery with Dr. Meldrum to repair the damage caused by stretching my earlobes, which had grown overly sensitive to weather changes as they reached nearly an inch in diameter. After a year of abstaining from jewelry and allowing my ears to heal, I decided to seek Dr. Meldrum's expertise, and I couldn't be more pleased with the results. Dr. Meldrum's attention to detail have left me with beautifully restored lobes, complete with nicely placed scars that are hardly noticeable. I am once again able to comfortably wear earrings. The procedure was straightforward and the recovery process was surprisingly minimal. Dr. Meldrum and his team provided exceptional care and support every step of the way. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Meldrum to anyone in need of ear reconstructive surgery or any other plastic surgery needs. His professionalism, expertise, and dedication to patient care truly set him apart. Thank you, Dr. Meldrum, for restoring not only my lobes but also my comfort.

I made a review a couple of days ago and I’m not finding it today. So my apologies if this is a duplicate. What I am about to share is my own personal experience, and not a reflection of Dr. Meldrum’s ability to perform surgery accurately and with positive results. On Monday March 4 I contacted his office in Eugene, OR and spoke with Ellie. We spoken detail about my insurance, and my medical needs. Everything seem to be a go and that same day I had an MRI, an ultrasound, a referral from my PCP and my mammogram sent to his office. Ellie explained that Dr. Meldrum usually looks at this sort of information on Thursdays. Fast-forward eight days I called on Tuesday March 12. When I asked for Ellie again. When inquiring as to whether or not the doctor had viewed my records, she said he had made a note and she had a question for him about the note. I was told that after she speaks with him, she would call me back. (Didn’t happen) Fast forward again a few more days to Friday the 15th and I spoke with Ellie again. At that point, she said in a very wishy-washy sort of tone, (paraphrasing to the best of my knowledge) “ Dr. Meldrum is not taking patients out of the area, not really taking your insurance, and focusing more on patients that are in need of more immediate attention such as those with cancer.” Keep in mind that I had to reach out to her each time and she never returned any of my calls as promised. I did ask for more clarification on all of the rejection reasons. But the bottom line is, they’re not taking my case even though I was willing to drive three hours each direction for pre-op, the operation and post-op. Why does it matter where I drive from. Just saying…IF your surgery is “Medically Necessary “ and you have Medicare full coverage with the Essential Plan, Medicaid OHP, 5k of warranty coverage, you see his name listed on the Pacific Source Provider list (Medicare AND Medicaid) don’t believe it - HE WON’T take your case! DO NOT waste your time talking to his office staff or sending them your current medical records. They are not interested. Such a waste of my precious time when I have an urgent medical need! I want my 2 weeks back!! This is MY personal experience March, 2024. I was beyond polite and patient- just don’t waste your time, especially if time is of the essence!

No artistic eye or balance. I had reconstruction after a mastectomy due to cancer. Meldrum did exactly what I didn’t want and what I did not expect. When I told him I was upset and angry, he spoke over me and interrupted me before I finished what I was trying to say to him. He said to find another surgeon within 30 days and he called me a jerk. Later upon requesting and receiving some of his office notes, he wrote that I was the one who called him a jerk. Do not trust this doctor. If you choose to see him, I highly suggest you to take someone with you to each appointment to act as a witness. This man will lie.
