Dr. Kathryn Wagner, MD

Dr. Wagner is honest, straightforward, skilled, grounded. Would recommend to anyone facing what I have faced over the last few months.

The best

Was in shock from cancer diagnosis, so in no state of mind to make an informed decision about surgery. A 30 minute conference did not lend itself to rational decision making. Missed subsequent communication all along the line. Staff have no people skills whatsoever. Absence of empathy throughout the office was surprising for oncology specialists.

Very knowledgeable and up to date. Calmed my fears and met me where I was mentally. Able to convey the seriousness and her abilities. Easy to talk to and understanding. Highly skilled surgeon.

Dr. Wagner was my first POC for my breast cancer once I was diagnosed. I feel that Dr. Wagner has been the most knowledgeable physician I've dealt with through this entire process. She does great work. In contrast, it is often very difficult to get information on the medical process and plan: What specifically will be done during surgery, who do I see next, when do I see them. Many times the administrative team is too busy to address questions or does not know the answers. There seems to be a lack of continuity within Texas Oncology. Having said that, I still believe that Dr. Wagner is the best physician I've seen, she does great work, I will see her again if needed and I will recommend her to others.

Surgery was not nearly as bad as I had anticipated. My recovery from the surgery went smoothly- within 2-3 days I started feeling back to normal with little pain, I just rested a lot. After 6 weeks most of the stiffness was gone.

Dr. Wagner made an extremely difficult situation seem like just that...a situation that would get settled by doing what I was told to do.

Dr Wagner and her staff were amazing! The care myself and my family received during this time was excellent. Dr Wagner is a caring doctor and an outstanding surgeon. Her staff is kind, understanding and very helpful. My family and I felt as if we were the most important patient she had. I would recommend her to anyone facing the challenge of breast cancer.

Original breast cancer surgery was performed on July 28, 2022. An artery was left with a cut, causing internal bleeding. I had to go to the emergency room three days later due to my fainting whenever I got out of bed. The internal bleeding caused swelling under my arm to become as large as a cantaloupe! Dr. Wagner did a 2nd surgery but still didn't fix the cut artery. I received three pints of blood due to the cut artery. After the 3rd surgery Dr. Wagner performed, I STILL had internal bleeding. A radiologist did another CT scan to find the cut artery. He put a camera through a vein or artery, found the cut, put in three coils and stopped the bleeding. By then, it was August. It is now late October. I've gone through 25 radiation treatments and I still have pain and swelling in my right armpit. If I ever need another surgery, I will not choose Dr. Wagner again.

Dr. Wagner is a very confident, energetic, and positive-thinking doctor who was appropriately empathetic and, without wasting her time or my time, made sure to answer all my questions. I had full confidence in her abilities and am glad I found her.
