I was referred to Dr. El-Ghazzawy by my primary care physician for a hernia. Dr. El-Ghazzawy diagnosed an umbilical hernia that needed repair. Dr. El-Ghazzawy did an excellent job of describing the surgery, the possible side-effects and answering all of my questions and concerns. Before the operation he contacted me to ensure I didn’t have any additional concerns. Immediately after the surgery I had complications, unrelated to my hernia, with my heart. Throughout my stay in the hospital, Dr. El-Ghazzawy checked on me to ensure I was recovering from the surgery, but also that I was getting the care I needed to determine what was happening with my heart. The follow-up care with his office was wonderful, with both the doctor and his staff doing everything to accommodate both my personal needs and the needs of my family.
