Surgeon Testimonial


Actually, the surgery was performed by both Dr. Alfons Pomp & Dr. Michel Gagner.

I liked Pomp upon meeting him. He spent over an hour with my parents & me explaining & going over everything. He answered every question we put to him.

He did say he felt I was too much of a "lightweight" -- Gagner disagreed and felt the DS was right for me -- (but I’ve put on a good deal of weight since Jan '05) to have the DS done & really went into the malodorous problems. This was disappointing; however, after the research I did, I knew I wanted the DS. He said he would have no problem performing it if it's what I thought was best.

I met with 2 other surgeons and, after extensive research on the 'Net and through medical journals, decided to go with Drs. Pomp & Gagner.

They have a structured aftercare program.

I also have to admit, Pomp, the operation & all other matters are covered by my insurance & that did have a large part in my decision. (I had to pay out-of-pocket for Gagner).

Surgical Competence is much more impt. to me than bedside manner. I've been lucky to have both (for the most part) in previous orthopedic surgeries but care much more about the outcome than the surgeon's smile.

Dr. Pomp was very nice & has a good reputation as does Dr. Gagner. I'm quite pleased with the fact they'll be performing my surgery.
