4.0 star star star star star_borderI returned for possible surgery to be told that I would have to pay for it myself since there is no Medicare code for my problem. If I had known that I wouldn't have made a second appointment.

5.0 star star star star starI have had many surgeries in the last 18 years. Not any of the surgeon’s can even come close to the knowledge, professional, caring and understanding that Dr DUMANIAN has. I will recommend any and all I know to him.

5.0 star star star star starDr Dumanian is a super star. I had a very large ventral hernia that was causing bowel obstructions. This would be my 5th hernia surgery. I went to three other highly recommended surgeons to perform this surgery. All of those surgeons told me that this surgery was too complicated and they didn’t want to perform the surgery. Dr Dumanian told me to lose 30-40 lbs before surgery. I actually lost 80 lbs . The surgery was a total success and I am so happy with the results. Dr. Dumanian told me I would be in the hospital for at least 5 days. Everything went so well I was discharged in 3 days. I can’t thank Dr Dumanian and his professional staff enough. I am so happy and highly recommended Dr. Dumanian for hernia surgery! Top notch Dr and 5 stars all the way

External Professional Relationships
Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care. These relationships are important in achieving scientific breakthroughs and in establishing the effectiveness and safety of promising new therapies. In order to assure objectivity in clinical research and patient care, the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine (Feinberg), Northwestern Memorial HealthCare, Children's Hospital of Chicago Medical Center, and the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab have adopted integrity policies that require research and clinical faculty (in full-time, part-time, and unpaid/voluntary categories) to report compensated and uncompensated external industry relationships. Patients are encouraged to discuss these disclosures with their physician as well as to inquire as to how these relationships are overseen by Feinberg.
