Dr Auty was great. Very concerned about my health and the procedure I will undergo. She explained all aspects in detail, talked about the need for the procedure and explained pre, post and the procedure itself. She answered all my questions in as much detail as I requested.

Dr. Auty was quite wonderful. The only reason I gave her a 9 instead of a 10 is because she is a surgeon and I haven't had surgery yet.

This is the third surgeon I have seen about this potential surgery and she was by far the most thorough, knowledgeable and communicative of the three!

Doctor listened and took time to explain the treatment. Patiently answered all of my questions. However since treatment cannot be finalized until my primary care provider provides additional details about an unrelated medical condition, I am unsure how and when we will proceed. I feel like I'm in the dark. I don't know what, if anything, is being done to get my surgery scheduled. Do I need to do something? Are they working on it? Is my PCP aware of what's going on?

One, I think it's a little premature to be asking me all these questions, but how I happened to go to you guys and to her is my UPS driver had hernia surgery. And he was telling me about the robotics and only three holes in him and healed fast and no scars to speak of. And he was happy as a clam and gave her a five star rating out of a one to five. And I called and As soon as I could get my provider to send the referral, everything has gone really smooth and everything so far, and from what I understand, she's the best of the best, and I'm hoping that's the case. And a little too early to say, but I think these questions should be asked more after I actually have something done than just driving down there to have a conversation.

Dr Auty did not rush and showed me the results she had on my colonoscopy. We discussed my history with diverticulitis and what the next steps would be. She was great at answering questions and said how she would like to obtain the other colonoscopy scans before we take any further steps.
