"I judge his competence to be excelent.
I am 10 weeks post-op without any unexpected problems. If fact I have very few problems at all. (hope it stays that way ;-)
I was a little concerned that I was not experiencing any of the more serious problems others were reporting.
I attribute this to my following his instructions and his surgical skills.
I found his staff to be very friendly and
willing to provide my insurance company with
everything they have requested to date.
Only negative, is occasional long waits for follow-up appointments. At first this troubled me, but the waiting room becomes an impromptu support group. Very helpful to here what others are experiencing. In fact I was left wondering if this was not planned.
I feel strongly that this surgery must be sought out and not recomended, but once that decision has been reached, I would recomend Dr. Elariny to all who might ask.
I beleive that surgical competance is the primary concern in selecting a surgeon, but Dr Elariny is also very personable with a good bedside manner.
