My wife had a large umbilical hernia for several years. The pain from it worsened from birth to birth until after the fifth birth we decided it was time to treat it.
After asking around and finding several women who had umbilical hernia surgery by various methods, we came to Dr. Joel Gorman. He received us immediately for diagnostic testing and counseling, without having to wait a long time.
After examining my wife, Dr. Gorman gave us a thorough and professional opinion.
We were impressed that he is a most expert physician, who has both knowledge and experience, (in particular we got to know that he does not use a mesh which, as we know, causes many complications, especially for women who continue to give birth). We decided to undergo the surgery with him and thank G-d we got to see that the decision was correct.
The surgery was set for a few days later. Throughout and after the surgery, Dr. Gorman revealed human and professional relations with us. The very next day my wife was released from the hospital. The recovery was rapid and was accompanied by Dr. Gorman’s continued interest and professionalism.
It is important to note that since the surgery we have had more children and there is no trace of the hernia.
We are grateful to G-d and highly recommend Dr. Gorman and his method to all who suffer from hernias.
M.H.
