Complex Abdominal Repair Done with Skill, Care, and Clarity
Dr. Bauermeister is an exceptional surgeon — and an even rarer kind of doctor who brings compassion, patience, and precision to every step of care. I came to him after two emergency general surgeries that left me with four hernias, diastasis, and a deep sense of defeat. While those surgeries saved my life, they widened my waist, damaged my abdominal wall, and left me feeling physically and emotionally unrecognizable. Other surgeons overlooked my story and said it isn't fixable. Dr. Bauermeister listened and gave me hope. He was the first to explain things clearly due to his much deeper knowledge, offer realistic options, and treat me as a whole person — not just a case. It’s rare to find someone with both general and plastic surgery expertise — and it showed in how safe, smooth, and empowering the entire experience was. I can finally look in the mirror again and feel proud of what I see. If you're facing complications or damage from past surgeries — or want care that goes beyond the basics — Dr. B is the one to trust. I’m so grateful I found him. And I'm willing to talk to anyone who has questions about any detail.
