Patient Reviews
Feb 03, 2025
I visited his office with an internal hemorrhoid, he suggested surgery. I was not informed until I woke up from the surgery in excruciating pain that I should not stand up for more than 15 minutes at a time for 3 weeks and that I had 13 staples in my rectum. I then had to have a second surgery to remove the staples which left an open wound. It was supposed to be a simple hemorrhoid surgery that left me 3 months of excruciating pain, open wounds, 2 surgeries and begging his office for help. All of these years later I am not sure how he is still in practice. I am not alone. I have met other women that have suffered the same. Stay far away from Jay Young.
