    Dr. Austen is very easy to talk to and he answers all of you questions so that you feel very at ease going into surgery. He did a great job on my surgery.

    My experience with Dr. Austen a few months ago was horrific to put it nicely. After being sent to him, he sent in a resident to assess my condition in ER & after 6 long days of being in pain & running several tests, it was finally discovered that my appendix was causing my pain. He just then came to meet me only to suggest I be sent home, while on morphine for pain and with a high fever, to have it scheduled to be removed at a later date in 2 months. When I refused as I couldn’t take the pain anymore, he took offence & left my room and referred my care to someone else. I was scheduled for emergency surgery within an hour, as it turned out my appendix was not only completely rotten, but had been going gangreen the whole time! Thank God for Dr. Lui who realized the severity and saved my life. I am unfortunately still recovering 3 months later from the after effects of the toxins in my system, no thanks to Dr. Austen. I would NEVER recommend him.

    Dr. Austen just performed my second mastectomy and I would highly recommend him. Not only is he a very good surgeon, he is also very caring and understanding.

    I am scheduled to see Dr. Austen again for another hernia. He repaired my painful inguinal hernia a year or so ago, and I had never been so happy to have that pain relieved. He was very attentive and had a great bedside manner. For someone like me, surgery is not a scary thing but I am aware of how extreme others can view a procedure so someone like Dr. Austen is a Godsend for anyone who might need to hear all the right answers and see a friendly face…

    I recently had a surgery performed by Dr Austen. He was humble, approachable, and knowledgable during the original consultation. The surgery and recovery have went great. Can not recommend highly enough!

    I had a lump and pollop removed from my right breast. I was so scared of scarring. Once the bandages were removed I was ecstatic. My scars are barely noticeable and give them a few months to turn white and you'll never know they existed. He is warm and empathetic. If I'm ever unlucky enough to get another lump, he's the one I will turn to. I could not thank him enough.

    Daran Austen is simply awesome. He provided me with lots of information that helped me decide to have a lumpectomy instead of a mastectomy — which he then said was, in his view, the best option for me. He did a fabulous job removing my tumour with clear margins and nine lymph nodes. Nice tidy scars. I never felt rushed by him. I came prepared with questions and he answered them all. Later, when I was hospitalized after my first chemo because of a high fever, he came and visited me — still in his scrubs. I was really touched by that. I trust his knowledge and skill completely. Awesome, compassionate, diligent and competent. What more could you want in a medical professional — particularly a surgeon?

    I can't say enough nice things about Dr. Austen. I see him at the Breast Clinic at foothills but he does have an office downtown. His nurse Edith at foothills is amazing and his secretary Shirley at his private office was very helpful. He is always on time and he will talk to you for as long as you like. He gave me many options for my surgery and we were on the exact same page and made the decision for a mastectomy. After surgery he stopped by and saw me in my room...talked to my husband and my parents. He came to the hospital early to discharge me so I could recover at home. He is an excellent doctor and a fantastic surgeon.

    I can't say enough about Dr. Austen. He is kind and caring and shows true empathy for his patients. He has done 2 surgeries for me. Hernia and GB removal. I am a nervous patient when it comes to surgery and he made me feel at ease and calm. I cannot understand how he could get any negative reviews. I don't want any more surgeries but if I ever do, he will be my first call. Thank you Dr. A. You are A+++++ in my book!
