“My long tortuous road seeking relief from intractable abdominal pain ended at 740 Park Avenue. My journey had started two years before when a surgical approach to expose my spinal column to correct congenital back problems left me with severe adhesions. My abdomen felt like there was a rubber band in it which was stretching and snapped back when I moved in a certain way. When I sneezed, the pain shot through me like I was tasered. When advised that reconstruction of my abdomen was required to address my condition, I began my inquiry into who was the “best” surgeon to undertake the task. To me the best was who would seem to care about my outcome as if it was their own. Dr. Broumand did and he did a magnificent job. I am pain free and the bonus is the cosmetic result is more than I had ever dreamed would be possible.”
