Dr. Pidala and his staff are absolutely wonderful. I had to have colorectal surgery about 15 years ago, and he did my surgery. And there's no one I would trust more than him to do the surgery I need now. He made sure I got into the other doctors I needed to see quickly. He is very good at describing what is happening while it's happening, and they are all just wonderful there. I would highly recommend him, and like I said, there's no one I would trust more than him to do this upcoming surgery.
