Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

New Compression Garment
I got a new compression garment today in the mail and it is so much more comfortable and it feels like I've got a lot more support than my binder.
I found the binder to be hard to wear with having a short torso. It came all the way up to under my breast, and then I could pull it down to my hips. But when I moved much at all it would ride up and hit at my incision, ouch. So I think this will be much better.
It's got the open crouch for easy toilet access too. I have one more for a different company that should arrive on Tuesday, so hopefully between the 2 of them I will be set for the next couple months or longer while I need to wear something.

Belly Button help?
Okay, my belly button is yucky! It's full of gooky dried blood and stuff. I pored half peroxide and water in it yesterday and tried to clean it, but it still is yucky and feels weird? I looked at my after care info and don't have anything about what to do with my belly button?
Also am I supposed to put something on my incision? I've been just washing with Dial, but it starts to feel tight.
Ack! Makes me feel like I should have asked more questions! I can't believe I have nothing about what to do with this.

So the pain medication alone didn't quite cut it, I was given percecet to take. After clearing it with my doctor I added on Motrin 800 and that helped so much!!
The first 3 days after were so hard! I took my pain pills around the clock with an alarm set to stay on top of everything. I was sent home with a walker to borrow for a week and I'm telling you that thing was amazing!! I didn't think I would need one, but I missed it so much when I had to give it back. If I had to do it again, I would have purchased one myself. I went ahead and ordered a cane to use after returning the walker and it's been extremely helpful.
I did not have a bm for 6 days, it was so painful also! Stay on top of your stool softners for sure. I also bought some fleet suppositories just in case.
I'm still walking bent over, am kinda afraid to start straightening up anytime soon, even though my back is killing me! Am looking forward to sleeping in my bed, but think I'll stay in my recliner for another week.
I've had no problems with not having a toilet riser, but I'm short at only 5'1"

Provider Review
Dr. Chris Taylor
My first impressions are great. The doctor has great people skills and is very confident in his works which makes me comfortable. He says he can see the great results he is going to achieve, which excites me :) I will have his and his assistant's cell numbers for any problems. His building is gorgeous with state of the art equipment. http://www.taylorsurgicalarts.com/
