Dr Shoji was awesome! He did say it wasn't pertinent to get the surgery done anytime soon since it's not bad and a lot of people have what I have (umbilical hernia). He also said we could fix it and then not have to worry about it in the future as there is less than a 1% chance (if I heard correctly) of it happening again. I'm off on workman's comp anyways so I'm going to move forward with the surgery but Dr Shoji was funny, down to earth and generally an awesome guy that part of me figured yeah get the surgery done but you get to hang with Dr Shoji again haha. With all that being said sometimes you see a doctor or surgeon and you leave not confident but Dr Shoji you DO NOT feel that way. You leave knowing you're in the best hands and thankful your friend recommended him.

Dr. Shoji is a caring, compassionate and brilliant surgeon. He quickly grasped the information I provided to him and assessed what needs to be done. He thoroughly explained my condition to me by walking me through my scan and also by drawing pictures to make things quite understandable. Dr. Shoji inspires confidence. I would highly recommend him. Other surgeons are unrealistic in their expectations of their patients whereas Dr. Shoji understands patients' challenges and fears, and he obviously strives to provide them with excellent care, even under less than perfect circumstances.
