Dr. Alanna Rebecca, MD

After having a double mastectomy with another surgeon at another facility, I (thankfully) ended up in the ER at Mayo under the care of Dr. Rebecca. Over the last year and a half and performing multiple surgeries on me, she has rebuilt my breasts and been with me every step of the way along a very long road to recovery. She is highly skilled, compassionate, and brilliant, and has always listened to me and never rushed me. Breast cancer and reconstruction are so difficult both emotionally and physically, but having a surgeon like her was life-changing for me. I credit Dr. Rebecca with carrying me through the worst time in my life. She and her entire staff have been amazing, kind, and so good to me. I truly can't say enough positive things about this surgeon. Dr. Rebecca is the best of the best and I highly recommend her.

Dr Rebecca is outstanding! She has done two surgeries for me. She is very calm and caring and explains things well. I am glad she is my surgeon

I would highly recommend avoiding Dr Alanna Rebecca. Her rushed and rude bedside manner, lack of compassion, and bullying you as a patient to make a decision fast stand out. She thrives on intimidating patients into doing what she thinks is best without taking into account patient history. She has zero compassion. Unfortunately, you can’t plan for an emergency and research where you would get the best care and attention for your situation. If you do have the chance to avoid Dr Rebecca, take the long way around and save yourself.

Dr Rebecca is great !

She preformed a breast reduction and botched it. Then had to do a second surgery and what she said was not all done. I ended up with most of my breast tissue removed, like a double mastectomy with tissue left and implants. I thank God I don’t have cancer. Granted I had fat necrosis after first surgery and after second surgery I now have capsular contracture and need a third surgery. She said the skin at the end of incision (called dog ears) will be removed on both surgeries and guess what? She gave me a third. In my gut I believe her physician assistant Lyndsey Bryant performed part if not all of the surgery. Mayo is a training hospital and if a physician assistant is going to do the surgery, I should have known and either agreed or disagreed. I wasn’t asked. Do your homework and don’t let her touch you. A butcher could have done better. Soon the third surgery Will be done, but NOT WITH HER. Mayo is great, but she needs to go.

I had breast cancer and had a mastectomy. I decided the reconstruction I wanted was a DIEP flap. Dr. Rebecca said she could do the surgery. This surgery takes your stomach skin and fat to recreate a breast but takes no muscle which was important to me. After the surgery she came into my room and told me she took some of my muscle. At a post OP visit I learn from her that she already knew she couldn't do the DIEP flap from my preop CT scans but failed to tell me. She took my muscle and my choice

Dr, Rebecca is professional, kind and has such a positive attitude! My family really appreciated all her care and attention to our smallest concerns about surgery and after care. Her and her staff are the BEST!
