Patient Reviews
Sep 17, 2024
Dr. Shehebar is knowledgeable and caring! I needed surgery and was concerned about the incision. My incisions are practically nonexistent and I'm only 5 days post op. I had been told by another colorectal surgeon that the only way to do this surgery was with a vertical umbilical scar. Dr. Shehebar made the tiny 1 inch incision along my existing tummy tuck scar. I am very grateful for the minimal amount of pain, and for his and his teams amazing bedside manner.
