Patient Reviews
Jul 22, 2020
Dr. Burns is an excellent surgeon. He repaired my inguinal hernia and did an excellent job. My incision with mesh has healed. The scar is about 3 inches, raised because of the mesh. I am so grateful that I no longer have pain or burning in my inguinal area. I do sense that I have mesh there but that seems to be typical and normal. Again, thank you Dr. Burns.
