How to Find a Great Surgeon For Hernia Repair

Hi,
has anybody found a good reference for a great place/surgeon for hernia repair? The more I read the more i'm finding that experience is important, especially with a laproscopic approach. But I haven't found any place that 'specializes' in hernia repair.

Somebody told me of a good surgeon who does hernia repair but his specialty is orthopaedic surgery..Just seems like a good thing to have an experienced surgeon who specializes in hernia to work on the 'plumbing'.

I'm south of boston if anyone has had a great result in this area i'de appreciate it if you could give me some info.

Thanks,
s

How far are you willing to travel to have the hernia repaired?

You are right you need a doctor/surgeon who knows what he/she is doing. There are too many horror stories of hernia complications from meshes.

Please read through the posts/threads on here

Feel free to pm me. I'm living proof of the hernia mesh gone bad...very bad!!

All the best...Smile
