Real Patient Experiences
Great experience! Back to work in three days. Back to the gym in 10 days. Would highly recommend.
My primary concern about having a hernia repair was to avoid recurrence. Dr. Treen’s hernia repairs do not recur. My surgery was on a Friday, and I returned to work on Monday. I took no pain medications.
I have been working with these guys for years now! With lots of hard work and timely communication, they made sure they delivered the best to me. Highly recommended!
