Patient Reviews
Feb 25, 2021
On Feb 11, 2021 went in to PAMF for surgery to repair a left inguinal hernia. This was my second hernia surgery with Dr Badger. He took excellent care of me the first time in 2019 for a right inguinal hernia repair and I felt completely comfortable under his care for the second time. He consulted with me prior to surgery and was thorough and caring about my condition and concerns. I could not have asked for better treatment. The surgery went well and I emerged feeling completely comfortable and pain free.
