The Testimonials

Linda P.

He is a super great Doctor! He is full of love compassion and true understanding of pain for he patients. I feel so blessed having him lead my team. Thank God for a real Doctor.

Tamara L.

Like every other person who left comments, I can't say enough about this man. He had to repair damage left by a different surgeon two years ago. and the operation took seven hours. If I had listened to the first surgeon who told me that nothing was wrong with me, there is a good chance that I might have died from the complications.

Steve C.

Dr. Anuj Dua is simply incredible. He has always been accessible even during odd hours. Random texts from him checking in on me is something I wasn't accustomed to. He is caring and skilled as a surgeon. I have never felt rushed during an appointment as he provides a personal welcoming atmosphere. His staff is first rate.

Aaron t.

Daniel is an amazing doctor and truly cares for you. He goes above and beyond to make sure you’re doing before surgery and after surgery. I had hernia surgery in October and Daniel did an AMAZING job! I highly recommend him!

Dr. Anuj Duadid a minimally invasive laparoscopic gallbladder removal on me about a year ago and the results were fantastic ! I didn't have any complications and it truly was minimally invasive !

Hugh

Hi, my name is Hugh and i received robotic surgery in April of this year (2021). Dr. Shouhed was my surgeon and spoke to my wife and myself explaining in detail the instructions I was to follow prior to my surgery. He is an expert in robotic surgery and we both felt very reassured because of his experience.
