I searched and suffered pain for three years (including 2 CT scans and an abdominal mri) as well as inconclusive surgery 1-1/2 years ago. My general doctor recommended Dr Pabst I just had surgery performed by her 3 weeks ago so still recuperating. But her style, technique, bedside manners, and in-depth explanation (at follow up) was beyond expectations. If I continue to improve at this rate, I can truly say she is THE BEST surgeon I could recommend. I have had multiple surgeries. She’s at the top of my list anyway. And thank all involved that recommended and assisted her. She’s better than the best!

A friend of mine has both of her legs amputated because of Dr. Susan Janis Pabst and Dr. Locke. She's bed bound and depends on a power wheelchair because of her.

Very impressed with Dr. Pabst and the staff at her office- everyone has always been so helpful. She is also a very comforting and nice surgeon to have if you are a woman!
