My sense of things is that because Yunis does 6 surgeries on the days he operates, he’s not able to discuss specifics after the fact, because he probably doesn’t remember them. Additionally, even though I was told by staff to a…[Read more]

Very painful!…[Read more]

Thanks pinto, your post helped me to keep things positive. I have a right inguinal repair scheduled with Dr Yunis this coming week, so I’m beyond the point of no return. I will admit though that after reading the study, I was ready to run for the hills. I did bring up the issue of PSA with Dr Yunis and he informed me that the operating area was u…[Read more]
