Dr. Comstock performed a surgery on me. Prior to the surgery, he was really good with answering questions and concerns that I had. He was clear about the side effects the surgery could cause. Based on the information provided, I decided he was a good option to perform my surgery.
However, after the surgery, I expressed a concern that my scar was sticking to the skin underneath it. This concern was expressed at least 3 times in person, and even more times with calls to the office. The calls to the office usually required to me to follow up and call back to get a response. And the responses received both in person and via phone were nonchalant responses that showed little concern of the issues I had mentioned. I understand if the doctor was unsure of how to treat the issue, however, would have appreciated a referral to someone or somewhere that could have treated it.
I've recently had a consult with a different surgeon and have found out that the scar may not have been closed layer by layer to prevent it sticking. So, it is recommended that I have a revision procedure to solve the sticking issue.
What I would have wanted from Dr. Comstock was to address my concerns and provide solutions rather than nonchalant or no responses.
I would not recommend Dr. Comstock as a surgeon based on the lack of assistance I received for my concerns and the lack of aftercare given after my procedure-which has resulting in me potentially having to get a correction procedure. read more
