I hope he has changed. Many years ago he left a piece of a surgical instrument inside me during gall bladder surgery, then told my husband everything went great and never mentioned the error. I would have chosen to have it removed but instead have had to live with it.

I was high risk for the surgery. I weighed almost 500lb, diabetic, hypertensive and a smoker and he still did my surgery when no one else would. He saved my life. He answered all my questions before and after the surgery. I did feel he was always in a hurry. His staff however were excellent care givers and knowledgeable.

I had a limphatic cyest removed from my back. While in the recovery room I developed a hematoma which eventually became the size of one half of a small cantilope. The nurse paged the Doctor several times over several hours but he never came to look at my sutition. Two days later, at home, this thing opened up and drained for days. When I called the office to find what to do, the nurse said to just let it drain, but could offer no ideas as to where I could get bandages large enough to soak up this kind of mess. I eventually had to buy diapers to put over the area. When I did eventually see the doctor he said "well what did you do bump into something and break it open? I have a nice scar to remind me of the experience with this Doctor. I would never go back to him.
