My only concern was Dr trunzo recommended Dr Rosen on my first hernia repair and he did do it but he won't do it from here on out which was a disappointment because I figured that he would want to do it because he did it the first time and he just didn't want to do it

Reviewed on Oct 11, 2024

Dr. Rosen took the time to be sure all my questions were answered.

Reviewed on Oct 11, 2024

I really appreciated the fact that the doctor informed me of each step of the exam process before he did it. He was very professional and attentive to my concerns

Reviewed on Oct 9, 2024

I felt uncomfortable when my questions seemed to bother the provider. He seemed to possibly be upset that his surgery hadn't resulted in a positive outcome. I'm not sure but that's a guess. He didn't talk me through the exam, and it was painful. I feel it may have been less painful if lubrication was used.

Reviewed on Oct 9, 2024
