Patient Reviews
May 03, 2023
Last year in July of 2022, Dr. McGovern saved my husband's life after he almost died from a colonoscopy where that other doctor perforated my husband's colon in two places. He had to remove his entire small colon, and a portion of the large colon. Was Dr. McGovern as attentive as he could have been? Maybe not. But he did what he does well, and my husband is alive and well today. Dr. McGovern saved his life, and I couldn't be more grateful.
