I got a hernia fixed with Dr. Camerota's help. Worked out as good as I could imagine. U should check in here if u are thinking of a hernia fix and ur insurance covers this option. Robot surgery seems very good for a less complicated healing time and operation was in the morning and out in the afternoon on surgery day. I got by with simple over the counter pain medicine for a few days and was back to work at the work from home desk job in two days. Remarkable in my understanding. One week later I moved some snow and could bounce out of bed quite well. Two weeks later, the lapro slice spots are almost all healed and I was shoveling snow. Waiting three weeks though till some heavier lifting just to play it safe.

Doctor expressed his suggestions on whether to do surgery now or now. Did not act in a diplomatic way as other docs. We loved the doctor! Doc also provided suggestion on which ultrasound is better and all which was very informative.
he is great scheduling is the pits. Don't think the office staff is working well with ZocDoc if not they should not use it. Waste of time for all.
