Patient Reviews
Jul 27, 2024
After almost 5 years of discomfort and several unsuccessful procedures to repair a perianal fistula, my surgeon recommended that I go to Houston Colon. Dr. Lefave and his staff were absolutely wonderful. He gave me hope at my initial exam when he said he could help me, and help me he has! I am now two months post-op, and completely symptom-free! What started out as a long, scary journey from a small town in Louisiana to the city of Houston ended up feeling like visits to see family. So grateful for being given my life back!

There are numerous reasons that I decided to change surgeons. I was referred to Dr. Haas who immediately (without ever speaking to me or seeing me at all) passed me off to Dr. LeFave. That was my first experience with the office. Dr. LeFave spent less than 10 minutes with me. He informed me that the entire ascending colon would need to be removed, and told me that his office would get me scheduled, with not much more info other than to tell me that the nurses at the hospital would explain what to expect for recovery. I just didn't feel confident in the care I would get. I felt like I was just another procedure. After being sent to this office following a misdiagnosis, I was extra anxious. I ultimately left and started over with a different surgeon in a different practice. Despite numerous calls and emails, as of this morning, they still haven't removed me from their surgical schedule which delayed Methodist in allowing the new dr to schedule me. It's been weeks. This is unacceptable.
