Dr 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
