Great surgeon, far the best in this region at what he does. Inspires confidence. Has done more of these surgeries than anyone around. Staff is super courteous and caring, in particular his nurse Cora.

Accurately diagnosed my external old hemmoriods, and removed them. Post op instructions regarding strict laxative use was not explained at all; recovery not yet complete at 90-days post op due to busted stich, may have to go under the knife again. He is a man of very few words, you'll need to ask a lot of questions regarding the procedure and recommneded diet for before and after surgery.

Hey, this guy size along will make you run but he's so nice. I had Symptomatic Internal and external hemmorrhoids removal in March. If I had to do it again he would be my doctor, but next time stronger pain pills. Try him for your self.

I went to Dr Hodnette and he diagnosed me with a thrombosed external hemorrhoid. I was in and out in 5 minutes and he didnt even offer me any medications to help with the pain and inflammation. Anybody with a thrombosed hemorrhoid knows how painful they are. When I told my GP my experience with Dr Hodnette he was shocked, and he gave me some Anucort to help me. I wont ever go back to Dr Hodnette.
