How likely are you to recommend Dr. Pierce?
I presented to ER with severe abdominal pain. CT scan revealed a partial small bowel obstruction (again). Dr. Pierce explained all possible routes of remedy. We chose the ?wait and see? route. After 36 hours and three more CT scans with no change, Dr. Pierce again explained the options. I chose surgery and he agreed. He then explained all possible scenarios and outcomes including all risks involved. My decision could not have been more informed. The surgery turned from laproscopic to full incision based on an educated “hunch” from Dr. Pierce. And thank goodness it did, as my small intestine was twisted (and had been for three years. Two years prior a different surgeon did laproscopic exploritory surgery, but found nothing). Dr. Pierce untwisted my small intestines and closed me up. Dr Pierce?s bedside manner is phenominal. His care and concern is genuine. He takes all the time needed to explain everything completely. A+ Surgeon. I highly recommend Dr. Pierce. Aloha
