Catherine, Glad to hear Dr. Redan got right back to you.....Good Luck.

Yes, I think you will be in good hands with them. They are compassionate and know what they are doing.....just "don't expect miracles". Even people who go to them still have adhesion problems.....there are NO miracle workers and adhesions have a mind of their own!! There are the lucky ones and the not-so-lucky ones also! They do adhesiolysis every day so they acknowledge that they cause pain and you need help, therefore are trying to help the best they can. Chances of creating MORE problems with less-skillful surgeons is lessened with them and their technique. They do it Laproscopically and are very thorough.

The down-fall is they don't accept insurance and you need Thousands for pre-payment which not everyone can afford.

I met them and they are very nice however I never had them do my surgery. JEAN

Thank you for your quick response Jean. I emailed Dr. Redan and he responded immediately. He gave me a number to call to speak with him. He feels that he can offer assistance. He also copied my email to Dr.Reich. I am so hesitant to try another physician and possibly another surgery. I am gun shy---to say the least.I am sure you can relate.Is this Dr., in your opinion legit? I am a cautious of a physician that I have not been personally referred to(of course, I haven't gotten too far on those referrals, ha!)Thanks again!
