Patient Reviews
Nov 23, 2023
I would absolutely recommend Dr. Chiasson and in particular for the Linx procedure to alleviate LPR and GERD as well as hiatal hernia repair (which is what I had done). He is very skilled at this procedure and has done a lot of them. He claims great results and although I’m only two weeks out from my own surgery, I am very, very happy. He is EXCELLENT at making sure people are the right candidates for different options. He had me do a large series of tests to qualify and explained the reasons for each. There were also other options if Linx hadn’t been a solution. He printed out a number of studies of linx for me on cases that were specifically like mine to read and encouraged me to look into others. It was absolutely no pressure and a lot of information freely given. He is friendly but very matter-of-fact. When I had my manometry test, the doctor doing that spoke very very highly of him also. Once I was qualified for Linx, he showed me with pictures exactly the procedure that would be done and how it could be altered based on specific anatomy and the decisions that would be made as far as things like sizing and mesh. All potential complications and his experience with them were explained, including common ones after linx like dysphagia and what to expect. He seems to be one of the most familiar with linx in the state when I looked into him and seems to have very few really problematic complications. He also seems to prefer linx where someone’s case fits it and after looking into it, I liked that unlike other options you retained more ability to do things like belch and vomit and unlike other options, it was reversible if needed. But even though it’s a pretty new procedure (only about 12 years old) it has good results for many…and Dr. Chiasson’s results seem even better than most. Now that I am eating pasta sauce and coffee again without issue and sleeping so well, I am incredibly optomistic for the future and think there’s a good chance this is one of the better self-care decisions I’ve made! When I actually had the surgery I was in contact via reddit with several others who were having theirs within a week of mine across the country. His recovery protocol for me varied from theirs and he explained that it would (others got the standard advice you’ll find online…he has some tweaks including big gulps of water). Either I got very lucky physically or his skills and the recovery protocol combined gave me a much easier recovery! Compared to everyone else I seem to have a lot less pain and expanded my diet much faster with a lot less dysphagia and chest pain (common recovery issues). Even my shoulder pain from inflation went away faster and the incisions, while on par with others, are healing fine and along the lines of what I was told to expect. At the consult after the surgery I got extensive notes on the procedure and also had all my questions answered including about my hernia size and what size linx device ended up being used so I have that information. After my own experience I would recommend him to anyone. I also really liked Northwest Allied other than theyre facilities are mazelike and can be hard to navigate or even find reception (I went to a bunch of the different locations for tests, surgery prep, consultations, surgery) and their phone system is…difficult. In office they’re awesome however…very kind and efficient and I felt very well taken care of. My advice to anyone trying to deal with them on the phone is to hit the buttons as if you’re trying to make an appointment no matter what your concern is (unless you are going to the emergy lines). You’ll at least get to talk to a human who can direct you. Otherwise you tend to end up at voicemail boxes that may never get responded to. If you also have life limiting LPR or GERD, I would highly encourage you to start looking for answers and get some testing done. If you get to the point that surgery makes sense, I think you will be very, very well cared for if you end up here with Dr. Chiasson and Northwest Allied.
