Board certified colon rectal surgeons...looking for a good one!!!!!!!!!

I too had a dreadfull experience with a general surgeon. My cat could have done a better job and caused less harm to me than he did. Don't know where you are in Mass, but my absolutely excellent colo-rectal surgeon just left DC in April and is now at Tufts University/Hospital in Boston. His name is Bruce Orkin. Very skilled in CD. He was a very senior doctor here in DC at the George Washington University Hospital, which is quite good -- it is where they take the President and Congressmen when they have medical emergencies.

I love him so much I just might make the trip if I need help. He is very skilled - -and he is warm, caring and has a great sense of humor too. My loss is your gain.

I used the Tufts "find a doctor":

Tufts has his resume on line:

Please go see him!! I am hoping because he is new at Tufts that he will have space for you. He is very popular.

I pray you can get in to see him! I loved his nursing staff at GW. They were kind and caring -- and available to take my call or even see me. I never felt rushed with Dr. Orkin. And when he saw me the first time I was a total mess from what bad general surgeon did to me. Bad doctor! Bad!!

If you can't get in to see Dr. Orkin right away, see another colo-rectal surgeon at Tufts in the same department. They can consult with Dr. Orkin because they will all be colleagues. Just get an appointment ASAP. Tell the scheduler you are very sick (true) and have been mis-managed by another surgeon (true again). You heard Dr. Orking is there and he specializes in what you need. Beg if you need to! I'm praying for you!

thanks..i will tell them exactly that...and i will beg..because i am desperate...i have been mismanaged...and i won't give up until someone see there can see me...do you know..i just realized..my surgeon performed surgery twice..and never once did anyone run any bloodwork on me..isn't that weird? or run any cat scans or mri's...nothing not even an xray...not to even check if i am anemia..check my white blood cell count..in fact they didn't even want my previous records from my past doctors..doesn't that seem strange?
