Hey, I found this on Dr. Kevin Peterson's website in Las Vegas about someone that had all kinds of attemps to alleviate pain. Look at this:
December 21, 2007
Brandy is a 34 year old woman who was suffering with severe chronic abdominal pain as a result of twelve surgeries. Some of these procedures were to repair hernias in which mesh was used. Other surgeries were to attempts to remove the mesh and alleviate the severe pain. At the time she contacted Dr. Petersen, Brandy had not been able to find relief.
“Yes I had twelve surgeries, prior to finding Dr. Petersen, but no one would fix the problem”. A surgeon would attempt to solve one problem and then tell me you’ll have to come back”.
In one instance she had been seen by a surgeon who was unable to find the cause of the pain because the tests and her medical records, in his words, “showed nothing”. According to Brandy, “He (the surgeon) told me if this were true about my intestines, I would probably wind up with a bag on my leg”.
I was at my wits end. I could not eat, sleep, or function normally. I was not able to work because I was dizzy and sick all the time.
Then I found Dr. Petersen on his website. His staff set up a phone interview and I finally made contact with someone who would listen to me, and understand the condition and the pain I was experiencing. Dr. Petersen said, “He regularly heard patients who had had hernia repairs using mesh describe this kind of problem.” I was so relieved. I felt I had finally found someone who could help me, I understood that I was not alone and I was not crazy.
The No Insurance Surgery staff was most professional. From the time of my first contact everyone was accommodating, considerate and made me feel comfortable.
Dr. Petersen is a friendly, kind person. I could tell at my first meeting that he knew what he was doing and cared about me. I have never had a doctor sit down and talk to me and listen. He made sure all my questions were answered. Dr. Petersen is a true life saver.
The surgical facilities were clean and the staff very friendly. It was obvious that they do these types of surgeries all the time. They made me comfortable and respected my concerns.
After the surgery to remove the mesh, I did experience some pain, but Dr. Petersen was very thorough. He gave me clear instructions, prescribed appropriate medication and told me to call him anytime.
I am healed, and I feel great. The pain is gone. I have my life back.
I would recommend Dr. Petersen to anyone who needs the services of a General Surgeon. I cannot say enough about how positive this experience has been. Thank you Dr. Petersen.
