Michigan Surgeons

I am scared to death of doctors and medical procedures...so good bedside manner is appreciated too. [:I]

I just had a flap done yesterday. I had Dr. Kim do it. He's with MMPC Colo-rectal surgeons. He is a great doc.

I recently had a surgery w/ Dr. Seigel at St. John Oakland, around 11 and Dequindre. My last two surgeons kept telling me that I didn't have a pilonidal, and removed who knows what, which just made things worse. Dr. Seigel was the only one who recognized it, and now I'm two weeks post op, finally pilonidal free. He's a really nice guy, and he came very highly recomended, just as I will highly recomend him to you. Good luck, hope everything works out!!!

colon/rectal surgeon Dr. Wael Solh did my surgery in january, it went well. i highly recommend him.

Hi, saw your posting about Dr Sohl. I am scheduled with him for surgery in May. He is doing a flap closure. Is this what you had? If so, can you tell me about your recovery? After I left his office and did some reading, and now I have so many questions on recovery, especially with my need to keep up with a one year old post op. I would really appreciate any info on your experience with Dr Sohl, your procedure and post op. BTW, I fell hard on my tailbone skiing, or more acurately falling after a ski jump.
Thanks!

I also plan to have the surgery done with him in January of '08. I'm kinda really nervous since I've never had a surgery of any magnitude like this before. I'm wondering how well he did and how the recovery went.

this was my 3rd time having surgery for this, the other 2 times i had it with someone else and it failed both times so i switched surgeons. Dr. Lee gets 5 stars in my book, he talked to me like i was a human being and explained to me what he was going to do and why and now a month after the surgery my wound is fully closed and looking better than it ever has. also there was VERY little pain, i literally only had to take 1 pill the day of my surgery and then never again after that. I would say if you're anywhere near Southfield, go see Dr. Lee

Hi, I just wanted to say that Dr. Heather Slay {in Grand Rapids} is a wonderful DR. Though she is not on the list, she did a Karydakis flap for my daughter. I will mention though that Dr Slay has never perform this surgery until my daughter. But as of right now 2 weeks post op, Sarah is doing very well. And we have great hopes that her PC is gone for good.
