In this day and age, it is hard to find a surgeon / physician that’s
compassionate, caring, and competent. Well my family and I came across
such a surgeon / physician, Dr. Clark Gerhart with Advanced
Laparoscopic Surgeons.
Two years ago, I suffered severe injury to my common bile duct and was
transported to have the gallbladder removed and repair surgery. My body
has been through quite a bit of trauma, resulting in me being sick off
and on for the past 2 years -- from bile leakage pre repair surgery and
septis post-surgery to internal hernias and partial obstructions. I’ve
had three surgeries and was very skeptical about having a fourth.
However, I was so sick and could not eat without pain and vomiting due
to adhesions / partial obstructions that I needed to consider another
surgery. My goal was to find a surgeon that had the expertise to remove
the adhesions by laparoscopic surgery—the least invasive surgery. I did
not want another surgery that would be open technique. We found Dr.
Gerhart who performed laparoscopic surgery on March 10th.
We cannot express in words how much we appreciate Dr. Gerhart’s
expertise, skill and great bedside manners. His gentle touch and
competency has helped me get my life back.
