The ER, like most city ER's, was jammed. with all rooms and hallways filled with patients. The wait time was longer than it should have been for my condition unfortunately. The CT scan revealed a blocked small intestine. I was given anti-nausea and morphine. I stayed in the ER overnight and surgery was performed the next day by Dr. Kevin Pei with minimally invasive surgery. Dr. Pei discovered that I had an intussusception intestine. He removed 43cm of my small intestine and reattached it with staples. I was then moved upstairs to a private room in the Kimmel building. The care by the surgical team and nursing staff throughout my six-day stay was outstanding along with their state-of-the-art technology. The practice is recognized as one of the best in the country and I certainly believe this to be true.

It took me about 4 years, but I finally connected with Dr. David Bub after having some problems. The Allentown office got me in for a quick appointment and immediately schedule me for the procedures I needed. They handled everything from insurance to scheduling with Lehigh Valley hospital. After my procedure Doctor Bub was able to get me a quick appointment with a gastrologist that had me on a 6 month waiting list. I learned after meeting with Dr. Bub that he completed his residency at Mt. Sinai which is one of the nation's best Gastroenterology program and ironically where I received my first surgery. I would seriously considering seeing Dr. Bub or any of his colleagues if you have colorectal problems. Compared to NYC this is a small area and finding a top surgeon is definitely important.

I had a sigmoidectomy in 2021 and have continued to suffer significant consequences since then and am now disabled for the rest of my life. The surgeon who performed my procedure, Dr. Soo Kim, went on vacation the following day without informing me (I would have chosen another day if I had known), leaving me to be cared for by unfamiliar providers throughout my 12-day hospital stay. During that time, I developed a staph infection. One of her colleagues then reopened my abdominal incision and manually removed the infection with his fingers! Despite my asking for pain medication beforehand and requesting that he explain what he was doing so I could understand the process, neither request was honored. The experience was excruciatingly painful, frightening, and handled without the compassion or communication a patient deserves. A few weeks later, I developed C. diff due to the antibiotics for the staph infection and had to be rushed back to the hospital by ambulance. When I finally saw Dr. Soo Kim after her return from vacation, her response was dismissive: "Oh well, it was a dirty surgery." In the months that followed, I continued to experience extreme pain and difficulty with bowel function, yet I felt my concerns were minimized and ignored. She made me feel like it was all in my head and that I was fine. I left the practice and found another physician, who discovered a stricture caused from the original surgery. As a result of these complications, I ultimately required three more surgeries, an ileostomy bag, and removal of my rectum. To this day, I struggle with intense pain, spasms, and lower anterior resection syndrome, which has severely affected my quality of life. I also want prospective patients to know that this practice performs flexible sigmoidoscopies in the office without sedation, which I found to be barbaric. Based on my experience, I would urge others to seek care elsewhere if they have the option.
