    Dr. Lamond repaired two hernia's for me in 2019. I was excited to find her practice after a Google search for weight loss surgery revision. I decided to consult with her office to receive a second opinion regarding a potential roux-en-y gastric bypass revision after a dismissive consultation from a previous surgeon. She was just as considerate, warm, engaging and attentive as she was in 2019. I'm glad she didn't change. My receiving the best treatment plan for weight management was her focus.

    I was Dr. Lamond's patient in 2019 for hernia. She's patient, kind and thorough. I was relieved to find out her practice may be able to assist with weight management, as I've rapidly regained weight over the last year. That's not a good sign for a gastric bypass patient; I'm 16 years out.
