Patient Reviews
Feb 11, 2019
I was referred to Dr. Summers last year for a painful groin hernia I’ve had for 15 years that was getting worse and worse. When it started to impact my fitness I decided to schedule the surgery. This was my first (hopefully last) surgery and Dr. Summers and his nurse Bertha were so professional and knowledgeable. Dr. summers clearly has decades of experience under his belt and knows what to do. I had the surgery on June 21, 2018 and I am full recovered and back running. Thank you!
