Please stay away from this surgeon for any elective procedures, particularly if you are a medically complex patient. He was objectively negligent in my care and the months of planning that went into my surgery. This resulted in an unnecessary hospital admission, traumatic surgical and post-op experience, and weeks of adverse health effects. The hospital and practice will ignore your complaints and desperate requests for help while you are enduring this trauma. Please, for your own sake, seek the help of a different surgeon who will treat you with the empathy and respect that you deserve as a human being seeking healing
