"A few years ago my wife was admitted to Virtua Hospital through the ER with severe abdominal pain. After two days they could not figure out the cause and began to imply that she was faking it to get narcotic pain meds! I was certain that it had to be related to her bariatric surgery performed 10 years earlier but no one would listen to me! I called Dr. Neff who had performed her emergency gall bladder surgery two years before at Kennedy Hospital in Washington Township and I knew that he had surgical privileges at Virtua. He came in to see her after spending a long day in surgery at Kennedy Cherry Hill. He IMMEDIATELY diagnosed her problem (twisted bowel) and had her in the operating room after 9:00 p.m. and operated past midnight to untwist it. Of course he was in again to see her early the next morning. He explained that the bowel was starved for oxygen and if several more hours had passed she would have had to have her bowel removed and very likely would have died. I will be forever grateful to Dr. Neff for saving her life!"
