UT SOUTHWESTERN MEDICAL CENTER

My daughter is a first responder who can no longer wear her facial PPE without pain thanks to Dr. Leach. He did her nasal repair in February of 2024 and her breathing is still occluded on one side. Now that side runs constantly. He left a bone sliver in her face, which he removed in-office without adequate anesthesia and did damage to the nerves under one eye. After she complained he told her it would take time to heal and she wasn't allowed to see him again until February, 2025. As of Nov2024, her nose is painful, discolored, crooked and badly stitched. Her septum bulges so badly that it hangs below her nose. The pain in her nose and upper cheekbone make wearing her respirator and face shield extremely painful.She ascertained her final bill amount with UTSW and set up a payment plan. She'll be paying off her $12,000 copay amount for years and he tried to add another $2,800 to it this week after waiting for 8 months to bill insurance she no longer has due to changing her employer
