Patient Reviews
May 22, 2021
Without his incredible care, and skill I would not be alive to write this! I had come to the ER for stomach pain, turned out my bowel had ruptured and following 7 hours of surgery and 3 weeks in a coma, and 7 weeks In the ICU I survived. I have nothing but praise for an incredible surgeon. His skills and the staff at Providence Hospital Olympia brought me back from edge of death.
