Dr Lavery, was very nice and took the time to explain everything to me. He has a great sense of humor and that eased my nervousness. His staff was also awesome!!

Came to him very sick and frightened. He did not tell me what I wanted to hear, but after 3 surgeries (removal of colon,j pouch to reconnect) and many difficult setbacks, I have my health back. There isn't much he hasn't seen or done, so his vast experience and skill far outweigh any other issues. I think h has a wry sense of humor and found him calming, caring, and professional. THANK YOU, DR. LAVERY!

I chose Dr. Lavery based on his skill and expertise not bedside manner. Dr Lavery is a nationally recognized surgeon whose time is at a premium ,he and his team exceeded all expectations with phenomenal results that are life changing for me. As a former patient with stage 3 colo-rectal cancer who faced a uncertain future with the possibility of living with a permanent colostomy bag it is Dr. Lavery who stepped in and corrected what cancer was trying to take from me.I could write more but my 12 year old son wants me to go for a swim then a bike ride which happily I can do effortlessly. THANK YOU DOCTOR LAVERY .

-worst bedside manners of any surgeon I've had-acts condescending toward patient and family members of patient-made multiple mistakes and then later lied about it to cover for himself
