How likely are you to recommend Dr. Anast?
I had multiple disc cervical spine surgery scheduled for March 31, 2022. I've had numerous other surgeries and, even though the surgeries were successful, I had so much difficulty immediately afterwards. Severe nausea, bloating, vomiting and sweating. Typically I had to stay in the hospital a couple extra days while the nurses treated me round-the-clock for post-anesthesia sickness. One nurse even stopped on the way to work to buy some ginger at a health food store as all other meds failed to control the sickness after three days. My wife and I talked to Dr. Anist during my pre-op just prior to the surgery and discussed this with him. He listened to us. He was very attentive. He came up with an alternative to the usual anesthesia for me. When I woke up in Recovery, it was like waking up from a nap. It was wonderful. I was able to leave the hospital the next day. I am very grateful to Dr. Anist. This was the best experience I've ever had after surgery thanks to him.
