SHC Patient, May 2016

Very good.

SHC Patient, May 2016

I have high confidence in the treatment and advice I received from Mary Hawn.

SHC Patient, Mar 2016

Dr. Hawn provided an excellent second opinion for me.

SHC Patient, Oct 2015

I was given very little information about what to expect with the surgery, how it was going to be done, i.e. Why I had 10 incisions, what to expect post surgery, that it would be the most painful surgery I have ever had! The hernia pain was worse after surgery, still hard and swollen, and still is! The stab wounds are still painful and red, although I have had them checked for infection by my PCP. Dr. Hawn answered my concerns on the last visit., but I should have been told during the first visit to alleviate my worries post surgery.

SHC Patient, Oct 2015

I would like to have seen my CT scan & examined it with doctor answering my questions.
