Patient Reviews
Oct 07, 2023
At the end of Sept. 2023, I was rushed to emergency in horrific pain, and actually thought I would die. Long story short, I was fortunate to have Dr. Joel Dragelin as my surgeon for a very uncommon diagnosis of 'Gastric Volvulus.' My stomach was actually 6x the size it should be. I feel so lucky to have had Dr. Dragelin, as he acknowledged my case was not common, but I felt so comfortable with him as he always articulated in full detail what was going on and the potential for more deadly complications if we didn't choose surgery. I highly recommend Dr. Dragelin and consider him the best of the best!
