Dr. Todd Heniford is in North Carolina if you can go there, link below. He seems very conscientious and aware of the problems with mesh. You’re probably going to get mesh unless you travel so make sure you choose a surgeon who is aware of the issues and working to deal with them. Dr. Heniford might even do non-mesh procedures, I would be surprised if he didn’t, considering his involvement in the various hernia repair focused groups.
Dr. Voeller is also at the UT Medical Center but he is 100% a mesh surgeon, and considers the problems with mesh unsolvable. Be careful if he comes up as a possibility. Good luck.
