How likely are you to recommend Dr. Lahr?
Dr. Lahr performed an emergency Total Abdominal Colectomy on me in 1998 at MUSC, a repair in 1999 (no fault of his), adhesions surgery, and a hernia repair in the following 2-3 yrs. I owe my life to God, and Dr. Lahr! Thank you, Dr. Lahr. Because of your skill and expertise, I have lived to see the births of 2 beautiful granddaughters; one who is on her way to college; the other, 2 yrs behind her; and, I hope I live to see my great-grandchildren. God bless you, always.
