About 10 years ago I had hernia surgery not by Dr. Gorman, on the left side of the body; the surgery was performed under general anesthesia and a plastic mesh was put into my abdominal wall who tried to keep the hernia from coming back. The recovery from the surgery was difficult, and took almost a month, I did not leave the house, and any movement was accompanied by pain.
Two years ago a hernia started to appear on the other side. Due to unpleasant memories of the surgery on the left side, I did not handle the matter, until I read in the Haredi press articles about Dr. Joel Gorman who has a method to do the surgery under local anesthesia and without a mesh.
I made an appointment with Dr. Gorman, and I was glad to meet a nice, pleasant and Orthodox man who, for one hour, explained to me his method compared to the method with the mesh, and said that the recovery would be easy, and that a day after the surgery I would be able to return to work.
And so it was!!
The day after the surgery I was at work, and was active on my seat!
I can’t say that there was not pain; there was. But relative to the pain I had from my previous surgery, it’s a ratio of about 1 to 5.
In summary – I am very satisfied with of Dr. Gorman’s treatment and I recommend to those who need hernia surgery to have the surgery done by Dr. Joel Gorman.
