"I was initially impressed with this surgeon. He did a revision that saved my life. I then recovered for a year, then was convinced to have a Gastric Bypass with some other fix-it surgeries I needed. Within weeks I was in Emergency surgery within an inch of my life. I had 4 pus (large) pockets in my gut, 2 leaks, he nicked my colon several times, I was septic, and dropped on the floor, and suffered 5 broken ribs, and both pelvis bones broken. I was to only find out about the leaks, broken bones, and other stuff a year and a half later due to needing yet another surgery due to still more complications. I went to pick up the records from him and the hospital, and spent four hours pouring over these records, and was astonished at the lies, and just not disclosing the facts. He is not in this for the patient. I do not recommend him unless you want a thoughtless job done. That is all I will say. The anger, and hurt has caused PTSD, and Panic attacks I had never experienced before."
"Now that time has passed, and I have been very sick for several years, I would not recommend this doc to anyone. I felt very little support, and there was a part of my digestive system made too short, so I have suffered from severe malabsorbtion since.
I was told that I would die soon after 1 1/2 years recovery should have happened. His last statement to me was that he could do a revision on me, and it would make me fat and at risk for disease again, what good would that do me. Let me just say the GR/DS did me no favors. "
"I met with the surgeon the first time recently, and really liked him, and felt very confident he was the one to do my surgery. He took his time, and answered my questions. "
