A pleasure to be able to find the level of commitment and care as shown by the doctor. Having visited many surgeons earlier, I was still unable understand the problem in my colon. She not only discussed the issues of rectal prolapse but also performed the laparoscopic surgery with great care. I am still on her follow up. Colorectal surgeons are not found in this area especially highly trained female surgeons. Go Bless her and her team.
