surgeon in LA or Orange county area..Dr. Beart does not do the surgery any more

PHMember

Thanks to all who recommeneded both Dr ng and Dr. Beart. Saw them both this wee and they are great. Liked Dr Beart a little more, but sadly he has his associate Dr. Garza do the surgeries and he assists.

Has anyone had any experience with Dr. Garza? Also Both drs feel I am more of a candidate for the ileorectal anastomosis...where I would keep the rectum. So no j pouch. Wondering if there is anyone who has had that procedure?

And as my last surgeon search... UCI med center in irvine has been recommended...a dr. Stamus? A Dr.
Iranihan at Hoag? And last a Dr Matthews at St Jude in Fullerton? If anyone has had an experience with these drs could you let me know.

Thanks for your help!

dr. garza is good, very smart. i would go with that option. Even though his hands may not be as swift as they used to be (which is where Garza comes in), Beart will at least be present in the OR. His brains will be what you want!

I've heard Stamos is pretty good, and I think he does it lapro. Haven't heard of the other docs.

I've heard very good things about Dr. Garza, and with Beart as an assistant, I don't think you can go wrong.

I think that Dr Le who practices at several OC area hospitals is terrific. He is gentle and kind and in my case where I had problems from a prior botched surgery, he did miraculously well/ I had two surgeons to0 co0mpare and even the post op care Dr Le provided was superior. I had no pain ever and 6 years or so since take down, no problems at all yet he stays in touch and if I ever have questions he calls me back promptly, treats me like a person and not just a dumb patient. Go see him (Fountain Valley) and you will be glad you did!
