What Our Patients Are Saying

My experience and review for the Surgery Group is for Dr. Hodnette only. I was dealing with a colorectal issue for months where a diagnosis for the issue had alluded several other... professionals. My wife found Dr. Hodnette online and reached out on my behalf and got an appointment right awa after explaing our 4-month long ordeal. Within a few minutes of the examination starting Dr. Hodnette was able to correctly diagnose and recommend a surgical procedure that would fix my issue with a high degree of confidence. I will warn you that appointments at a colorectal doctor are not what most of us are used to experiencing. Set the awkwardness aside and know you are in great hands. I was impressed with the care and treatment I received from that first visit, surgery scheduling, the surgery, and the aftercare were all excellent. I am now 99% fully recovered after about 6-7 weeks since the procedure and my issue has been resolved. I can now live my life without fighting constant infection and being a burden on my wife and worrying about my health. I strongly recommend that anyone in the area needing a colorectal doctor/surgeon to reach out to Dr. Hodnette for help.read more
