Patient Reviews
Apr 13, 2024
I went to the ER at WKMC with an apparent GI obstruction causing me to vomit and experience enormous swelling in my upper abdomen making it difficult to breathe, raising my blood pressure, as well as continued nausea and pain. After he completed surgery across town, he came to see meHe listened and understood what my current situation was AS WELL AS MY NUMEROUS OTHER HEALTH ISSUES. He was in and out of my room many times until he recommended exploratory surgery to resolve the problem. I agreed and he did so just before midnight. He removed the obstruction and did other work, laparoscpically. He kept a close check on me for most of the week and I am still recovering with the blockage resolved. Cannot imagine better care. He is very respectful and easy to talk with.
