Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Surviving Death
Apparently, there are little or no early warning signs of an impending Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm and little opportunity to survive it. I did thanks to Dr. Tell and Christopher McCamish. After surgery and during my 30 stay I was completely sedated and have no memory of Dr. discussions, finds, and facts. I was never aware of the severity nor the death rate until some many months after while perusing the web and began to be shocked by my prognosis and likelihood of longevity. Death was almost certain following the event. Luckily, I was at retirement age and could. I planned to finish my days remaining with some solace and I began living my best life day to day. Two years after the event a CT scan revealed my tear had healed and almost out of that danger. I still had concerns due to acute Arterial Flutter and the possibility of stroke along with high blood pressure. Friday 10-14-22 a cardioversion permanently put that to rest. Monday 10-17-22 was my 3 year anniversary. THANKS...
