Dr. Philip George, MD

Smooth first meeting to finish. George is professional, level-headed, congenial. My questions were answered and my concerns about surgery were settled. Surgery itself in a top-shelf facility with top-shelf nurses and staff. Went well. The aftermath has been pain free and easy.

I wanted to decide between two doctors and I visited both before deciding on my surgery. The way Dr. George made me feel calm by taking away my worries and giving me clarity was unparallel to any doctor I have ever talked to. Then before, during and after surgery it only continued and confirm the same.

Dr. Philip George is an excellent surgeon who performed my diatasis recti & hernia repair with great skill and precision. My recovery was smooth, with minimal discomfort, and I’m very happy with the results. I’m truly grateful for Dr. George’s expertise and the positive impact on my health.

He was not very helpful when I went to the E.R 3 times due to pain. E.R doc could not reach him

Dr. George is a thoughtful and compassionate surgeon. I felt listened to and respected from my first consultation to the post op follow-up. I had a more complicated hernia that required open surgery rather than laparoscopic. He made me feel comfortable and relaxed while I was wheeled into the surgery room, and continued to ask if I had any questions. The surgery went very well, and my recovery was easier than expected. I can't say enough about Dr. George's skill as a surgeon, and his treatment of me as a patient. I highly recommend him.

Arrogant provider with horrible bedside manners!

Dr Philip Gworge successfully performed my hernia surgery early in the morning of 11-13-24. Even tho it was a large hernia, Dr George and his highly professional team did an amazing job without issue and I went home the same day at 11:30 am. I am glad to recommend Dr. George and his incredible team to any and all all that will come to require their services. In the universe that is NY Presbyterian Hospital, Dr Philip George and his team are all bright, shining stars of their profession. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of their services.

I am 83 years old and have heart failure. Two other surgeons proposed laparoscopic procedures, Dr. George did an open procedure with a local anesthetic, thereby avoiding the gas pumped into the abdomen and deep anesthesia necessary in laparoscopic procedures. I went home the same day. I have no pain or other problems.

I can't find the right words to fully express my gratitude for Dr. George's incredible knowledge, skills, patience, and kindness. He is not only highly skilled and energetic but also treats his patients like family. After suffering and struggling for more than three months, I was incredibly fortunate to find Dr. George. Within minutes of examining me, he provided a definitive diagnosis: hernia. I later confirmed this with another expert.Dr. George carefully explained the three surgical options available to me, detailing the pros and cons of each. 'I treat my patients as my family members.' His responses alleviated my concerns. It would be unreasonable to distrust him His preference was grounded in his extensive research and numerous publications in professional journals. The surgery was a complete success—far beyond my expectations. I'm fully recovered after 3-4 weeks of surgery. My online search was worth it, and the trip from New Jersey to New York was worth every mile.

Dr. George is an amazing, highly skilled surgeon, and incredibly easy to talk to. He has a great bedside manner and is reachable should you have questions. For my hernia surgery, I wanted a doctor who specializes in this type of surgery and his efficiency and that of the Hernia Center helped drive my decision. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. George for any needs you have for his specialties.

Dr. George was great at explaining my hernia options and treatments. He performed robotic laparoscopic surgery on my hernia and I am ecstatic with the results. There was only minimum soreness in the first few days after the surgery and I was walking immediately with no issues.

Dr. George is who I needed the first time I had my hernia! I'm an athlete and reinjured a hernia someone else repaired poorly. Dr. George knew just what to do and explained it all clearly and professionally. Surgery was quick and efficient and I feel great! I'm back to working out and know that next season I'll be able to perform at my max. I recommend Dr. George to everyone I meet...

Dr. George was very professional, but open and personal at the same time. My experience with the surgery and with all his support staff was excellent. IW 09-06-24

Dr. George is an exceptionally good doctor. He and his team were able to repair my hernia and get me back to normal life. If you're in the market for a good surgeon, you're not going to do any better than Dr. George.
