There just are not enough words to describe how amazing and life changing my surgeries have been…read morewith Dr. Javadi.
The first surgery was an emergency, so I had never met nor knew anything about Dr. Javadi for that one, but after that surgery, I learned he was not only incredibly talented but also a likable, calm, and very down to Earth human being. He did an amazing job, and it was not like a regularly scheduled surgery because I had gone to the ER after becoming the sickest I had ever been in my life not knowing I had developed sepsis. I was, quite literally, delirious with pain and fever. It was then that the ER doctors at El Camino Health, all incredible Dr.s too, discovered I needed the emergency surgery.
In my delirium, when Dr. Javadi told me what he needed to do, I tried to tell him "no" because I didn't know him or his medical training. Then, he told me if I didn't have the surgery I could die, so of course I consented, and it went perfectly.
Prior to getting so sill, I had been searching everywhere (Mayo Clinic in MN, Stanford, Cleveland Clinic) to find the best surgeon, one I could trust to do a complicated surgery for me that could have devastating consequences if not done with precisely the right approach and skill, so when I recovered so well from the emergency surgery that went exactly as I hoped it would, it was like winning the lottery. I had found an amazing surgeon.
A few months later, I had a consult appointment with him about the intestinal procedure I needed to have done, and when he finished answering all of my questions, I was 100% certain I had found THE surgeon who had the expertise, would use the cutting edge approach, and could be trusted to do the very best for me.
I had zero fear or apprehension about my surgery. In fact, I was so excited to get this procedure done that I asked for the first appointment I could get, and then my family and I literally counted down the days until my surgery day.
It's now been 1 full month since Dr. Javadi, used the DaVinci robotic machine to do my procedure, and I have been on cloud nine ever since. I have my life back! In fact, I healed so quickly that I only spent 3 nights in the hospital as opposed to the 7-10 days my insurance expected me to stay for that procedure.
To be free of the horrible, painful chronic problem I had is nothing short of life changing. The other excellent surgeons I considered having the surgery with were going to use the standard approach, but Dr. Javadi embraces the new and improved methods that cut the healing time and risk of infection in half or more. So glad I choose to have him do my surgery. I will never be able to thank him enough.
Down the road, I may need to have another surgery because my condition cannot be cured, but I now have the solution if/when the problem develops again. If he moved to Antartica, I would go there to have him do the surgery.
