TikTok Plastic Surgeon 'Dr. Roxy' Loses Medical License

TikTok-famous plastic surgeon Katharine Grawe, known as Dr. Roxy, was permanently stripped of her license by the state medical board in Ohio. The board said its decision was "based on her failure to meet standard of care" following evidence that she botched three surgeries. After watching Dr. Roxy's TikTok videos, Kelsey Cardenas went to her for a breast lift. However, Cardenas says she suffered major complications after the surgery. Inside Edition's Ann Mercogliano has more.

As a medical doctor I applaud this happening 👏🏻

We took an oath to provide care - not content!

Who would've thought a doctor that obviously cares more about clout than a patient could botch a surgery? Took me by surprise.

She cared more about attention than her patients.
The medical board made the best decision

Social media is the worst thing to happen to mankind. Im glad this "doctor" was held to a higher standard and dealt with.

As a licensed mental health provider, I find this appalling. I commend the state board for taking the appropriate action.

[NoOneHereDay]

I would never trust a doctor that goes on a reality show or who's on TikTok acting goofy for a younger audience.

The fact that people assumed her TikTok following meant that she knew what she was doing, it just perfectly describes the problem with social media.

Something needs to be said about ppl who use TikTok as their source to find doctors

As an actual practicing doctor, I’m glad to see this happen. That said, doctors do make mistakes, but to be obsessed with your online profile over the safety of your patients is unforgivable!

[forcesofkanto]

hearing "there's no way this will ever look normal again" from a doctor must be heartbreaking. This woman probably should have lost her license a while ago.

[channelsurfing]

Shame on her. People will go to far, far, FAR extremes to be influential on the internet.

“Found her on Tik tok” That’s your first mistake.

[carolturner]

I don’t understand why anyone would take a physician seriously that did TikTok videos like Dr. Roxy. I am sorry for the victims.

[SachinKumar-gotr]

This made me so happy as a medical doctor. Let’s call out bad doctors. Medicine is not a place for sub par people.

[anthonypetercoleman]

GOOD. This needs to happen more often. The social media clout has gotten to levels of obnoxiousness and entitlement never seen in history.

[ainab]

Imagine going to school for years and years just to lose it because you let the fame get into your head.

[PauloG]

'I found her on TikTok and liked her personality'. Yep, that's definitely the best way to choose a surgeon to perform potentially dangerous surgery on your body!

[Nighthawk-]

She cares more about being a tik tok celebrity than a doctor. She got what she deserves

[piroshky]

As a nurse, I can confirm that this is happening. There was this girl I was working with who sent me a snapchat during work. She literally sent patient documentations to about 200 strangers online... And I was the bad for telling her that it is illegal. So sad that it is an actual thing...

Rule number 1. DONT FIND A DOCTOR ON TIKTOK😂
