Featured Review
One colon and rectal surgeon said I had previous abdominal surgeries and because of scar tissue this would be a high-risk surgery. He said it must be open surgery, not laparoscopic and there is risk of death. And of course, I am an older patient which makes it risky. Another surgeon said there are risks and they can only know what to do when the surgery is in process. Then I visited Dr Milsom. He looked at my records, examined me and said, “I don’t see any problem here. You aren’t that complicated.” Dr Milsom did the surgery laparoscopically, the problem was corrected, and my life has changed for the better. Six months of pain and inactivity ended after my surgery and short convalescence. I am an active senior and can now stand for hours without pain, can garden without pain, can enjoy my grandchildren without pain. Everyone knows his caring nature and great bedside manner. He loves his patients and they love him. His staff are just great people and they helped with scheduling since… we live 300 miles from NYP hospital and scheduling wasn’t always easy. Thank you, Dr Jeffrey Milsom. Thank you. I feel like you saved my life.
