I very much appreciated Dr. Rafferty's explanation of what she saw. I liked that she stepped out while I undressed and redressed so we could talk face to face. She answered all my questions and provided some options I previously did not know I had. I truly appreciated her!

She saved my life as I had a large mass in my colon and a large mass on my liver. Prognosis was 2-3 months to live without treatment and surgery, 15% live up to 2 years if treatment and surgery are successful. I am 8 years in remission. She is brilliant and an excellent surgeon and assembles the best medial team. I am forever grateful for her and have referred many people to her.

I feel that Dr Janice Rafferty has her patients' best interest at heart. She is very forward and straight to the point which I can appreciate. She is extremely thorough when discussing health conditions and what proper steps she plans to take for corrective action.

She performed a total colectomy 6 years ago. Unfortunately, she left 10 inches of bowel in me. She WOULD NOT HELP ME at all! She told me it was basically my imagination and not her faullt that I had even more extreme constipation problems. Ended up going to a colorectal surgeon at UK Healthcare in Lexington who performed some tests and determined the cause. Had to have 3 additional surgeries to fix the problem. I do not recommend her at all!!!! Horrible bedside manner too!
