“jump up at my beck and call”? what a crock.
Well then MAYBE they should not put up webpages soliciting new patients. Kinda like a used car salesman. But used car salesmen are a lot more responsive than these “too busy to be bothered” ‘physicians/surgeons’.
Little to no regard for prospective patients and a GOOD indication what they will do if you…[Read more]

Interesting, thanks for that input. The problem I have experienced with these specialy centers is they act like they could care less if you go to them or not. I guess there must a ton more hernia repair patients waiting to be served. I think they have unprofessional low wage workers attending their webpages.

Thanks much for the heads-up warning about teaching hospitals and “trainees” Duely noted.

In studying this issue ovver the last 15 years and having worked with surgeons I have concluded that most surgeons are egotisical ignoramuses who think they know a lot more than they do. They frequently will NOT take responsbility for their mistakes. I have in just a month or so of searching found two patients who have DIED as a result of surg.…[Read more]

agree with Wm Bryant. They put up websites inviting emails and then they don’t have the staff and time to reply. Many of these websites are spammed all over the net under different names for the same website. It is quite clear that their intention is to solicit as much biz as possible, but they can’t do the followup.

I’ve worked with surgeons. Like any profession there are very few that are exceptionally good. Quite a number that are mediocre and too many that are incompetent. And they don’t cry like in the movies when they lose a patient. It’s “what’s for lunch?” And guess what Chuck (for you) if they screw up , most of them refuse to take responsiblity for…[Read more]

Amazing the number of people on this forum that need a remedial course in reading comprehension. What part of polite letter were you unable to fanthom? The truth is these hernia centers care more about getting your $$ then they do anything else. I just finished a review of the differences between ambulatory surgical centers and hospital repairs.…[Read more]

Most surgeons can tell just by looking or palpitating the area.
(turn your head and cough-us military standard). It’s only the unusual/complicated one that requires imaging.

Pinto:

Bull. English is the world dominant language. And China recognizes that. You don’t find USA people recruiting for chinese teachers. I think you’re the ignorant one.

IF Kang as you CLAIM (doubtful) speaks good English, why is he places “translators” (his word) between him and his prospective English speaking patients?

It’s a little different for a surgeon practicing in India.
Different currency, different costs, different way of doing things, so that is a valid reason to publish pricing information. I have no quarrel with stating prices, in fact, they should be ITEMIZED, not just ballpark or range. What I don’t like is the ali baba, coupon, discount 2_4one and…[Read more]

“conspiracy”, those are YOUR words not mine (don’t put words in my mouth).

What I did say is that it borders on unprofessionalism to leave a practice and patients and prospective patients in the dark. Professionals don’t do things like that.

And last I heard your promise was to let us know in October, not November.

Concerning advertising and…[Read more]

Are you the same guy who posted a while back about how he could not get Dr. Kang’s “English interpreter” to respond to his emails?

I don’t have to search it but I recall the post was quite negative about Dr. Kang and his “english interpreter” could not be bothered to communicate with a patient.

Most doctors are intelligent and well read and…[Read more]

Well, I am hesitant to post this because I am not here to destroy this forum or anyone’s reputation.

Having said that, in the short time I have been here, I am not impressed with the surgeons mentioned here. In fact I just read a court complaint of one of the surgeons often mentioned here of a man he killed through sure negligence and neglect.…[Read more]

Maybe you need a remedial course in reading comprehension. I never said I’d choose a surgeon based on his political views about the poison injections that morons are trying to sell as a “vaccine”. I said I won’t go to Canada for the reason that the latest I have read on Canada states they require poison injections to enter the Country. That of…[Read more]

You mentioned “discomfort”. Was that from the tiny hernia or the previous repair site?

If you’re not having any pain from the tiny one, there is no reason for surgery. Eventually it will probably get worse depending on your age and activities. I’ve gone for over 15 years with a large inguinal hernia that is easily reduced and rarely causes pain.…[Read more]
