Best Dr and Surgeon possible. The amount of care and concern with Dr Migaly is outstanding. I've never had a Dr show this level of care and professionalism while having genuine bedside manner. Never was concerned from beginning yo end with his level of care.

I scheduled the appointment stating I was due for an annual followup, but was experiencing issues I thought needed to be looked at earlier than that (pouchitis). Other than pressing around my stomach briefly, there was no examination of anything and I was told the earliest any tests could be done was October. The appt lasted maybe 15min and that was that. This is a doctor I've never met before and there just seemed to be very little thought/effort put into what I was saying.
