I was a visitor to Tucson. I got myself to Northwest via Uber. I was in extreme pain and Dr Comstock and his team reassured me and performed emergency surgery. He and his team were very kind, compassionate and although I had my appendix burst, they did a great job surgically. Follow up to remove the drain went well. I found him personable and compassionate. I have nothing but 5 stars for he and his care.

Dr. Comstock, accompanied by two medical students, indicated surgery fix had failed and would have to repeated using traditional incision to repair as an outpatient procedure. Personally, I find this an unacceptable reason for failure of prior procedure!
