Dr. Steven Joseph Medwell, MD

Still suffering from his mistakes 10 years later

Thirty years ago Dr Medwell removed my large intestine and made a j pouch in three surgeries. I was so young and scared and did not want a bag for the rest of my life. There are really no words to thank him for this. I am healthy and living life. One of my best decisions was to go to him at the recommendation of Dr Silverman in Olympia.

Dr. QMedwell has been sued 6 times for malpractice according to court records. Even mislead me and my family as to the procedure he was to perform. Leaving me to have 4 more surgeries by other surgeon and 7 years of recovery. All this documented in both court and medical records.

I have known Dr. Medwell for more than 30 years. I have done work for him, and best of all, he has done some work on me. His work is more meaningful and lasting. He not only is a great surgeon, but he is also very caring and compassionate.

Dr Medwell gets 5 stars all day long every day!! I have just had surgery for internal and external hemorrhoids and it couldnt have been any easier. I didnt have the pain that I had my first two surgeries done by other doctors. Dr Medwell also listened to me and ordered tests that finally diagnosed me with pelvic floor descend, something that had been bothering me for the last year. I thank god I cancelled my original surgery a year ago with Dr Biggers and found Dr Medwell. He is by far the best!*****

Dr. Medwell was my surgeon over 10 years ago and continues to follow up with me to this day. He removed my large intestine and created a j-pouch. I was very sick and he gave me the confidence I needed to go through what ended up being 4 surgeries. The nurses all said great things about him as well. I highly recommend him.

I had known Dr. Medwell for a number of years, and during what I thought was a routine office examination, he discovered an abnormality relating to my colon. He scheduled a colonoscopy for me and discovered that I had a malignant tumor. He surgically removed it and gave me options to what I wanted done afterwards. I trusted him and said do what you think best. Upon his suggestion, I had radiology and chemotherpy treatments. I am now cancer free after 8 years. I honestly do believe that this fine surgeon saved my life. I give him the highest rating and strongly recommend him.
