Elmer Valin
"Meeting with Dr. E. Valin was easier than I expected. I was "crushed" when my prior surgeon cancelled my final appt. with him (after my husband and I BOTH had to take the day off to meet with him and I lost over $100 in pay for the day). I also had heard that my surgery would be running close to the holidays (Thanksgiving) and with a family that would be the worst time for this to take place. I called Dr. Valin 4/17 (when I found out my appt. on 4/18 was cancelled with my former surgeon) and he got me in the next day on 4/18!!! 7/16: In reading my profile you will see the complications I had as a result of surgery. I knew there was a chance of a leak but never imagined it could happen to me. With any surgery requiring sutures or staples, there is always a chance of the staple/suture line not sealing completely. The only difference with this surgery is that it's on the inside and I had to wait for my insides to heal before eating and drinking again. I had a few months of emotional "ups and downs" and through it all Dr. Valin gave me the best care. I would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Valin for anyone that would like to have this surgery done. I spoke to MANY of his patients and we all seem to feel the same way about him. He's a young, brilliant surgeon that truly cares about his patients!"
