    Question: What is more excruciatingly painful than warm, dense fecal matter scraping across exposed…read moreand bleeding muscle fibers, as it makes its way to the sea? Answer: Nothing that I've ever felt! (although that time they fished the bladder-bound tube up my urethra came a close second... Mommy!) Well, I was in the market for a skilled proctologist / rectal surgeon. Dr Larson came with high recommendations, so I booked an appointment with him. Things weren't too bad at this point. Upon initial introductions, I found him to be a mild mannered gentleman, with a calm demeanor, and a penchant for buggery. Well, strike the buggery comment. He was the wise, kind, older uncle you had as a child. I tell ya, rolling over on the exam table, and letting him spread apart my cheeks brought me back to my childhood thanksgivings. I could almost smell mom's liver pate stuffing with gorgonzola. Oh wait... that's me! After the exam, Dr Larson gave me two options. The first being surgery, and the second, being a numbing ointment, which was meant to promote healing. I chose the latter. My mistake. Let me tell you about 'finger cots'. They are little condoms for your fingers. No, not as thick as a rubber thimble the accountants used to use, but thin, like sheepskin, but they are latex. As I endured the two weeks of safe sex with my fore-finger, as it was slathered with the ointment, my problem down below was worsening. So much so, that I imposed myself on a strict liquid diet, in order to minimize the traffic. Imagine an impish Leprechaun holding a lit match to your dumpster slot, and every time you turn around to backhand him, he disappears, only to reappear behind you doing it all over again. Now imagine he has the stamina to keep that up for 2... 3... or 12 hours at a time. That's right about when I came down with a case of Tourrettes. I yelled out with every burning or stabbing sensation. Pretty sure I came up with new grammatical combinations.That's the kind of stuff the neighbor kids will be talking about for years to come. Anyways, I met with the doctor again, and upon his second invasive exam, he noticed the exposed muscle fibers, and commented on how painful my potty time must be. This time, I opted for the 'sew & scope'. We scheduled a surgery date, which gave me six days to take care of my arrangements. I secured a ride to and from the hospital, updated my will, and completed my pre-op paperwork with the hospital staff. The day before surgery... hours before I started my final preparations, I get a call from the surgeon's office. Seems that Mrs Larson failed to inform the staff that the good doctor would be on an airplane jetting off somewhere, at the exact same time as my scheduled surgery. We would have to reschedule. I puckered. It would be six more days until Doctor Larson's skilled digits would be fishing a threaded needle through various areas of my rectum. Yes, six more days of the Ensure liquid diet. Six grueling days of trying to ebb the flow of solid waste. I made it to day five, before erupting. Oh, and how I erupted! It was a current of explicatives and the excrement. Oh, but this time I was ready. Comfort came in the form of three Tylenol PM, two NyQuil and a pint of Guinness. I made it to surgery, and am alive to tell the tale. They packed me pretty good that day, which gave me the opportunity to un-pack myself. How many of you can say the same? That was seven weeks ago, and although I'm still seeing the doctor every couple of weeks to promote total healing, I'd call this a success.

    Dr. Larson was my 2nd opinion - and I'm really glad I went to see him. He redid all my tests and…read morefound my original diagnosis to be wrong. He went out of his way to ensure I got the right diagnosis and treatment. His office found time for my procedures in a very fast manner. I'm super impressed with him and his staff.

    I have never had a care provider be so obviously annoyed at seeing her own patients…read more I was 30 mins early for my appointment and waited over an hour to be seen. No one in the office even acknowledged it! When I got to the exam room, the doctor had asked me to pull down my pants with her watching. This was weird to me and gave me pause. Dr. McConnell was apparently annoyed at this because then she herself, grabbed the waistband of my pants and started tugging to pull them off, so hard that I almost fell off the exam table. I've never had a provider do this to me. To stay in the room and not provide a cover or gown was distressing enough but when the Dr tugged on my pants I shut down. She proceeded to tell me all about the procedure she was recommending, I asked her about how far out she was scheduling and she rolled her eyes and said, "talk to my staff." At check out I was told I would be able to schedule in the office for the procedure. I was living in extreme pain every single day and I had already waited a month for the consult. We scheduled the procedure for two weeks out, which was a really long time to wait in agony. She did not call in any medications. She did not give any directions. The day before surgery they called me and cancelled my procedure and told me I didn't meet the requirements to use their facility after all. I pleaded with the nurse about how I was living in excruciating pain and all she said was,"I don't make the rules." Dr. McConnell was cold, disrespectful, unprofessional and unwilling to provide any pain medication after surgery. Doctors and surgeons have a duty to provide pain relief after a procedure, to dismiss and belittle pain and suffering is not being a good care provider! The behavior of her staff I also found unacceptable and rude. It's easy to apologize for running behind on appointments. It's easy to have empathy when you hear a patient is in pain. I have been a veterinary nurse for 10+ years, I can't imagine being so heartless if a patient was suffering or in pain. We treat dogs better than I got treated here! I found a great surgeon that did my procedure, treated me with compassion like a human being, AND provided pain relief!!! All in 3 days after they cancelled on me last minute! What a concept!

    I am very thankful to Dr M! She is definitely a Dr who addresses your health issues with…read moreexpediency and great professionalism. Thank you Dr M, you have definitely improved my quality of life. Her office staff are very caring and responsive. I appreciate the entire process from beginning to end. Her surgery center is extremely sanitary and her staff were caring and professional.

    Awful, Incompetent, Snotty Doctor! Classic "assume" the wrong thing doctor. Dr McConnell is ONLY…read morefocused on big beautiful poop which no one has every day, and uses a "one size fits all protocol". Complete waste of time, especially if your issue isn't stool like me. Dr McConnell needs to start "listening" to her patients FIRST to understand WHY they are there, and not come in the room shoving the wrong "diagnosis" down someone's throat. She had her mind made up on my issue (before even talking to me), was 100% incorrect and when we finally discussed why I came in (LLQ pain), she shoved pills at me for the wrong issue (classic big pharma doctor), was not interested in figuring out the "cause" of my pain and pushed me out. She ordered no tests to confirm cause or make sure I was ok. Add to it, she billed my insurance $600. Fortunately for me, I did not give up or let her incompetence stop me from making sure I was ok. I went to a "more qualified" surgeon who immediately ordered a CT scan to rule out any major issue (none found, thank gawd), prescribed NO medications (as I didn't need any), did an allergy test which figured out I had an allergy to cow's milk, which caused my colon spasm. Now that I have stopped dairy (was doing nonfat Greek yoghurt daily), issues are 100% resolved. No stool issues, no more pain. Will never go back to Dr McConnell, she is FIRED!!!

    Thank goodness I was referred to Dr McConnell! I was quickly diagnosed and surgery was scheduled…read morewithin days. Although I was a little nervous about the situation I am so glad Dr. M was there to make it all better. Not only did she perform my required procedure, but she also identified a couple of other issues which were also addressed within the same surgery. Her staff were wonderful, professional and caring. If you follow her instructions to the T, you will quickly recover. I can't believe I have evolved from 100% pain before surgery to no pain at all post surgery.

Waiting time could be improved but the waiting room was very clean with an available bathroom. The office is very easy to find and is on the second floor reachable by both stairs or elevators Dr. Masur was very thorough with his explanations on how the upcoming surgery would proceed. Michael his medical assistant was absolutely delightful and so was Chrissa the scheduler.

Do you want to enter all your info into their patient portal and never hear back? If so, Arizona Advanced Surgery is the place for you. I requested an appointment through their portal on Tuesday and gave them all my information. Still hadn't heard back by Friday, so I called. The woman I spoke to was in a remote call center and could barely understand English. She said none of my info was in their system, so I had to give it all over again. I had to spell half the words because she didn't understand me. After thirty minutes she finally took my info and said she'd email the office so they could call to schedule me. Oh, and when I asked if she worked in the doctor's office, she said no -- she was remote. So my sensitive health information was just handed off to a random overseas call center. Thats what they think of their clients.
