Patient Reviews
Feb 20, 2024
On a Friday, I received the news that I needed an appendectomy. Fortunately, Dr. Farrow performed the surgery that very evening, sparing me the ordeal of visiting the ER and enduring lengthy wait times. Prior to the procedure, Dr. Farrow briefed me on the process, and I was relieved to learn that it would be conducted laparoscopically, taking only about 30 minutes. Upon waking up, I felt remarkably well with no postoperative complications. Though I experienced some discomfort once the effects of the medication subsided, it was manageable. Remarkably, just ten days later, I returned to work. I am deeply grateful to Dr. Farrow for his expertise and care throughout this process.
