My 1-year-old went in this week to have a dermoid cyst removed behind ear. The surgeon operated in the wrong location (2-3 inches away from cyst on neck/head) and removed a lymph node instead. The cyst is still there, so my baby now needs another surgery. Doctor admitted the mistake when we showed him after surgery that cyst is still there. I feel devastated, angry, guilty, and unable to accept what happened. In search of another surgeon now and would like recommendations in Austin. Thanks
