      Dr. TIMITZ AND HIS NURSE were very polite, friendly, focused, and apologetic.

      I cannot say enough good things about Dr Tymitz. He is smart, experienced and one of the kindest people I have ever known. We have history from when I suffered an esophageal perforation, (different doctor) was very ill and how he worked tirelessly to care for me to get me healed and back on my feet. He wants to help me by repairing my very large hiatal hernia but wants to scope the area I see if my healed perforation can tolerate it. I, without a doubt, would let NO OTHER DOCTOR do this because of what happened to me.

      When I first consulted with Dr Tymitz, I told him my concern with a previous emergency surgery and it's unfortunate outcome. He let me know he would take very good care and that he wanted to bring in Dr Shrand to help to make to everything could be fixed. Don't even get me started with Dr Shrand, (he'd be getting 5 out of 5s too!)
