I recently underwent bilateral, laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair. After 2 weeks, I was ready to resume most physical activities and I started slow stretching exercises. Dr Panzeter is a competent surgeon and very friendly.

I had a very unpleasant and unprofessional experience with Edward Panzeter, so much so that I called my primary care doctor and asked for another referral as I will not be returning to this practice. First, while I was in the waiting room, I overheard him loudly complaining to the receptionists about having to see all the patients for the type of procedure I was there for. So incredibly unprofessional. Then, during my exam, he was rude, condescending, and dismissive. I would never let him operate on me and would advise others against it as well.
