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.

Wow!

Yesterday was one week post and all I can say is wow! It's been an easy week for me. I've had absolutely no pain from the tummy area, and only minimal discomfort from my breasts due to my pec muscles enjoying a few spasms here and there. That was not at all what I expected!
I had my drain removed on Tuesday and I'm cleared for the pool as early as this Sunday! I feel great! I never dealt with constipation, as I started a juicing regimen a few days before surgery, and I kept juicing for the first four days after.
Pec muscle spasms were eased by a combination of light massage and heat/ice compresses alternated.
Really? The whole experience was extremely pleasant! My doctor was an outstanding choice and the professional people at Springfield Clinic Surgery Center were absolutely top notch! Absolutely would recommend them to anyone!

Done!

After five long hours in surgery, I went home. The long lasting local numbing shot made life SO much easier! Esparil is the name of it and it's good for three days. Today, the day after, has been pretty unremarkable. I have some pain, but not much. I didn't wake up this morning groggy or disoriented. My husband cannot believe it!
I go to the doc this afternoon to get some of these wraps undone. I haven't even looked! The photo below was taken yesterday morning minutes before surgery:)

Very down to earth, interested, not pushy. Seems very confident and somewhat quiet. He gives the facts and allows you to make choices from there. Now that I have had surgery, I would feel very very confident in recommending this doctor! He was absolutely awesome! Calm, confident, precise, pleasant to work with and his work was absolutely outstanding in my opinion!
