Patient Reviews
Nov 02, 2022
This morning I had Dr. Ditmars repair an inguinal hernia that I've had for many years. Post operation, I'm in MUCH less pain than I expected. In the weeks prior to the procedure and on the day of the operation, Dr. Ditmars explained the procedure thoroughly and provided ample time to answer the questions I had. Great job!
