I saw Dr. Walden for botox a couple of weeks ago, and I love that such a skilled surgeon is the one performing my injections! Anyone coming at my face with needles I feel should have the surgical skills that she and her staff have. I am always a bit uptight around needles, and she went out of her way to make me feel comfortable (and beautiful!) I appreciate the consultation she provided throughout my appointment as well. Highly recommend her and her staff!

I had a breast lift with Dr. Walden back when she was practicing in New York City. The experience was absolutely awful. The surgery came out soo bad that it needed to be redone a second time. I experienced wound healing issues, lack of symmetry, and overall a very poor aesthetic result. The second surgery was a slight improvement, although still is not a great outcome and ever since the surgeries I have had several complications involving the skin in that area. This Dr. was not communicative about all the details of the procedure and at times seemed to lack a genuineness when answering questions

Dr. Walden and her tremendous (all female) team rehabilitated my relationship with plastic surgery. Dr. Walden performed a revision rhinoplasty and I could not be happier with the results.
I am two weeks post-op and the results are already exceeding my expectations. Dr. Walden and her team gave me ample opportunity to express my desired results and encouraged me to ask questions (making themselves available to me around the clock). Dr. Walden provided me with a complete understanding of the procedure (tailored to my needs) and what to expect pre and post-op.

Dr. Walden did a great job with my (male) rhinoplasty. Not only am I very happy with the results (though it's been less than two weeks, so there's still a lot of swelling), but the recovery was almost completely pain free (with medication). I was pleasantly surprised given the number of accounts I'd read of discomfort during the first week of recovery. Of course, with the bruising and bandages I still looked like hell, but felt fine. Also, I found her staff very friendly and helpful, in particular Elizabeth and Christy (overnight nurse). Georgia did a great job with the anesthesia

I had a breast reduction done. I ended up with an infection and the wounds opening up, requiring me to see a separate wound care Dr for many months, all at my expense. The scarring is really bad, and she didn’t seem to be bothered much about the bad outcome at all. She had no real suggestions to improve to appearance other than further surgery at my expense.
I’m very disappointed because I had consults with several surgeons before choosing her, and I now believe her best face to face skills are in getting you to choose her. If something goes wrong all her bedside manner goes out the window

Still 3 stars, but after 4 weeks I'm happy with the size. It is NOT what was talked about in the consultation or preop, but the Dr. did a good job choosing a size that looks natural- yet voluptuous- for my body type, size and frame.
I'm still vastly disappointed with the low amount of info I received about the procedure and post procedure, the best aftercare, calling and checking on me, etc.
I'm navigating this on my own and the Dr. has not been a good partner in this journey.

Beginning to end I had a fantastic experience with Dr. Walden and the entire staff. They are knowledgeable and friendly: happy to answer any questions you have during the consultation and afterward. The comprehensive nature of care given is superb. The office is clean, comfortable, and inviting. I am extremely pleased with the results of my surgery and aftercare. 10/10 would recommend.

I don't usually leave reviews BUT in this case I needed to shout it from the rooftops that Dr. Walden and her staff are THE BEST out there, and I couldn't be more pleased with my procedure! I had been ready to make a big investment in me and this was going to be my first surgery ever. I know that when it comes to surgeries, you want to go with the surgeon with the most extensive experience, and since I wanted a tummy tuck and fat transfer done at the same time, it was going to be a big operation. I was very nervous about it, but she and her staff took such good care of me every step of the way

I came to Dr.Walden's office for a consultation about a month ago. She was one of 4 surgeons I was considering for my tummy tuck.
Maybe I didn't look serious. I don't know. But I felt like Dr.Walden barely looked at me, made no effort to really look at my case and give me thought-out recommendations for the right procedure(s) for me. She seemed genuinely disinterested. It was off-putting.
All of the other surgeons I saw gave me significantly more attention, care and time. Because of this I didn't feel she was a good fit for me.
Maybe she's too busy. Maybe she's

I am now six months post-op and I am so incredibly pleased with the results of my procedure! Dr. Walden isn't just an amazing surgeon, she is an artist. I told her the size that I was hoping for, but ultimately would leave it up to her judgement, and she hit the mark perfectly. My body now has all of the proportions it was meant to. The lead up to the surgery and the surgery itself also went really smoothly. All of Dr. Walden's nurses are so incredibly sweet and really make you feel cared for. Everything about my experience was better than I could have imagined, and I'm so happy

It was going to take 6 months to get an appointment with Dr. Walden so I made an appointment with her nurse practitioner, which was "only" 4 months out. Several months later I was notified that I needed to change days since the nurse practitioner would not be in the office that day. I could accommodate that request so I rescheduled. Then a week before my appointment, I was notified again that I needed to change my appointment again because no "nurse" would be able to see me for my appointment. I'm sure Dr. Walden is an excellent surgeon but she certainly needs help in

I cannot begin to express how blown away I am by Dr.Walden and her staff. The professional and extremely caring attention I received throughout all of my treatment really speaks volumes to who Dr.Walden is and what she prides herself in. Every single time I walked in the door I felt at home and that's something you really do not find in every practice. Carly was my nurse and stuck through my side through it all. I mean through everything. She helped with all my crazy questions and was there on the phone whenever I needed her. She was so genuine and absolutely amazing and kind. Really could not

After researching different doctors all over town and going to several consultations I finally found Dr. Walden. I went in for a consultation and wanted all of my questions answered with solutions that would be reasonable. Dr. Walden sat with me going through every detail with so much professionalism, care, and patience I was blown away! She really took her time and knows her craft answering every single question. Especially with someone like me who has tons of questions. I felt so comfortable with her and her staff that I made an appointment and am ecstatic with my results! I am very happy that

NOT RECOMMENDED: I had to make an appointment several months ahead due to a lack of availability. About a week before the appointment, I was informed that Walden would not be available. We changed the appointment to earlier in the day when Walden would be available, but my wife was unable to change her work schedule to go with me. When I arrived for the appointment, I was told that Walden had an emergency and I would meet with the nurse (not a nurse practitioner).
First, the nurse asked if I were there for a brow lift. It is easy to see that I do not need a brow lift. NB: guys should almost

Came here 2 years ago for my first and only lip injections. Have been very impatiently waiting for it to dissolve and go back to normal because they were done incorrectly apparently and I'm honestly afraid to have anyone else touch my face now to fix it. Still sitting here with a lump above my upper lip that is very obvious when I smile or talk. I emailed Kristin about it a few months back explaining the situation and the only response I got was that it was very weird because they don't inject stuff up there and to heat it up with a hot wash cloth and massage the area, which did nothing

I wanted a simple procedure done so I had a friend tell me how happy she was with the Dr.Walden cosmetic technicians so I made an apt on 5656 Bee Caves rd. I had to fill out several pages of history about my overall health. I liked the fact they were careful so if I had a reaction the staff and technicians would know my medical history....... a major plus. Kristin today was my technician remarkable results so happy. I will be a regular at this location in the future they had a discount on the filler. I love it very little pain and just grateful. I love the fact the Kristen was personable and

If you're scared to get them done, don't be. The small amount of pain you feel when it's being done is completely and totally worth it.
I'm telling everyone I know to go to her when they ask why I'm looking so refreshed these days

Kristin Gunn, you are amazing!!
Over the years I have noticed my lips have been getting thinner :(
Then about a year ago...the absolute unfortunate thing...I was bitten by a spider causing a little indentation on my lip.
I came in for a consultation and was so impressed by the facility and Kristin's communication (it does help that I met Kristin years ago in the Austin service industry) I went ahead and had my lips injected.
Thank you so much for explaining everything to me, and explaining what you were planning to do and what my best options are to achieve my fuller lips goal!!

My visit with Kristin Gunn was the very best experience that I've had when getting botox. Kristin has the magic touch when injecting with hands light as a feather!
I followed her suggestion on getting botox in areas that I have not tried before and the outcome is a miracle. I am telling everyone that I know about Kristen and Dr. Walden. THANK YOU
