Jeffrey B. Matthews

"My surgeon wa Dr. Jeffrey Matthews from Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, Mass.rnrnMy first impression of him was pretty good he was straight to the point about surgery, and I liked that. He told me that although some surgeons automatically take out the gall bladder as well during surgery he doesn't unless it is neccessary.rnrnWhat I would like future patients to know about him is that for some reason that he can not seem to explain he neglected to tell me that he removed my gall bladder during wls. MY ISSUE IS NOT that he removed it appears it was a necessary procedure. rnrnMY ISSUE IS THAT I found out 5 months later by accident at my primary care's office while she was looking up an related issue for me. She happened to notice it, and mentioned it. I was quite shocked by this.rnrnAs far as the surgery itself he seems to have done a good job, but his not sharing such important information with me rates very low in my book. Had my Doctor not noticed I may never have known. "
