"I can't say enough good things about Dr. Lavin and his fine staff. Interestingly, a number of hospital personnel have hade the surgery so everywhere you went in the hospital, there was a cheerlead from a post-op or post-op friend! What a vote of confidendence in Dr. Lavin and the hospital to have your own nurses seek out the procedure there.
Dr. Lavin and his partners at Surgical Specialists of La have a structured monthly support group. Dr. Lavin's surgical competence and bedside manner are both good. The nurses spoke with great praise for his laparascopic surgurical skills. So I belive them!
I couldn't be more pleased with my choice. His office was extremely accommodating in helping get my surgery scheduled around my schedule and to deal with insurance problems. (Through no fault of theirs, I ended up not having coverage. My employer changed insurers Jan. 1, and we simply couldn't get it approved and done before year end, particularly with the holiday schedules)."
