Patient Reviews
Jun 24, 2024
I read reviews for Dr. Wei and got nervous but still trusted him to do my open Hernia Surgery, and im glad i did. He explained that he does the open method compared to laparoscopic as a preferred method due to it not connecting to organs underneath where as open it above and does not have that issue. Open does require a longer recovery time, but i had absolutely zero issues with Dr. Wei. He is straight to the point and knows his stuff... I am a 27 year old male and had a hernia for about 2 years, i am now 6 weeks post op and don't feel a thing. Don't let these negative reviews deter you from a Dr. who has been doing this for 20 plus years. I hope this helped anyone considering Dr. Wei for Hernia Surgery.
