From the moment I met him, Dr Fujita made it undeniably clear that he was going to be my surgeon. Dr Fujita exudes confidence while maintaining humility. He walked me through every step,of the surgery and what to expect. The location of my cancer was tricky and it would have been very easy to simply leave me with a colostomy bag. Dr Fujita took extra time to ensure that he not only saved my life, but preserved my dignity. Dr Fujita and his team visited me every day at the hospital. His kind and compassionate bedside manner was so reassuring for my wife and me.

I am forever thankful for Dr.Poliakin and her staff- I feel so fortunate they were there (and…read morebelieved me) in my time of need. Cliffnotes version: -Go to ER at 1am for abdominal pain. Ultrasound confirms gallstones and liver enzymes are slightly elevated. They send me home with a referral to follow up with a general surgeon and painkillers. - Next day: call referral for general surgeon (Dr.Andrew Luckey) who doesn't see outpatient so was a bit confused- he only sees you if you had surgery in the hospital. The next opening they had was in a week but they were going to try and squeeze me in. They did call me back and were able to get me an appt however I was already on the way back to the ER because I didn't feel I could make it a week. -ER round 2- get a dragon of a NP who says they aren't going to admit me for surgery, tells me that's not what I want nor are they going to rerun my labs since I was just there- best she could do is order an CT so I said okay and sat down.Hours go by and it becomes clear to me even with a CT I'm not going to get help here and my only shot at getting support was the surgery referral. Called Dr. Poliakin's office back, tell them the situation, they told me to come over and they will fit me in. Met Dr. Poliakin, she educated me very clearly about what was likely going on, laid out all the options includingthe option to get on her surgery schedule that day. I was terrified but I trusted her completely after meeting her and felt safe in her care. She called the ER and told them to rerun my labs and admit me and thank goodness she did. The labs were 5x what they were and I was on my way to developing jaundice. Got admitted and things moved quite quickly after that. As someone who's never had surgery (aside from dental) in her life, I was absolutely terrified going into this and some tears were shed. While I was in pre-op I got to meet my OR Nurse, anesthesiologist and see Dr. Poliakin again to talk about the developments from the blood work. I had an all female team which felt pretty badass . Dr. Poliakin again was super upfront, educational, straight forward, and compassionate. I knew going into this there was no one else's care I'd rather have been in and went into that OR more relaxed than I ever would have expected possible from myself. I'm now five days post surgery, doing well and I shutter to think what could've happened if it wasn't for Dr. Poliakin and her staff. I wish there were words to convey how thankful I am but thank you just doesn't really cut it. If you find yourself in the unfortunate situation of needing general surgery and you're reading this review trying to find some reassurance- just know you're in the best hands and she will take amazing care of you.

Last year I received my Medicare along with a supplement plan so I was happy to find out that this procedure (which is not cosmetic) would be covered. From the time I entered the facility I was greeted very warmly by the front desk and also the administrator. I met with the doctor and he assured me this procedure could be done in office without an outside facility. He also reassured me that this procedure would be paid for by my Medicare and supplement plan. What I like about this place is the surgeries are performed st this facility as he has his operating rooms inside. Dr Kryger was fantastic when I had the procedure in the operating room. I was awake and given a local all of the nurses and the doctor were talking in the operating room and having a great time and I believe it was to calm me down. As they were going through the procedure they asked me what I wanted to name my lipoma when it was removed! Lol. It took a bit to get it all but and he did a fantastic job. I was pain free as well after!! I highly recommend this place if you need a plastic surgery procedure. The operating nurses and the staff and insurance biller and especially the doctor were top notch. This is the place to go thank you Dr Kryger you gave me my life back Kerri Standing

Something happened during my surgery. I woke up in ICU with a tube down my throat. Not the usual post op care for a hysterectomy. Though I was on strong pain medications, I asked why I was in ICU. The answers were vague. I was hospitalized for ten days and following my discharge I asked Dr. Hakim why I was in ICU. Her reply was blatantly untruthful. She told me she wanted me to have the best of care, so she put me in ICU. Doctors do not have the option to simply place a patient in ICU without a definite medical need. But I was just glad to be cancer free, so I didn't press the issue. Fast forward to September, 2023. One morning my belly swelled up like a balloon and I was in terrible discomfort. I went to the Emergency Room. After some tests, the doctor came into the little room and told me my intestines were totally blocked. I needed immediate surgery. Without it "You're in trouble. You're in bad shape. We have to operate." After the emergency surgery, the surgeon told me it was a long and difficult operation. He had to scrape scar tissue off my intestines. He couldn't promise me the scar tissue wouldn't return. I asked if this was due to my prior cancer surgery. He told me "It's very likely." The recovery was long and the post operative swelling didn't go down. Instead, it became worse as the weeks and months passed. Finally, following a C Scan, I was told that having two large surgical incisions in virtually the same place on my abdomen, in such a short time, thinned out my abdominal wall and it will no longer support my intestinal organs. Further, I was told this is a permanent condition. There are no longer any abdominal muscles that could be strengthened. The ugly truth is I am now burdened and disabled with a large, protruding belly which causes considerable discomfort. I struggle each day with constipation and the possibility that the scar tissue will return is a threat I must live with or possibly one day die with. Before Dr. Hakim I was a slender woman with a flat stomach. I was fit and healthy. Today, every day, I just get through the heavy discomfort of my ruined abdominal wall. My intestines and other organs have minimal support. What happened to me Dr. Hakim?
