"I met with Dr. Magnuson in November last year. I was impressed with his no nonsense approach. He was straightforward, kind, and did not seem at all concerned about the difficulties of operating on someone who had had previous abdominal surgeries. (I had aortic bilateral fem-fem iliac-iliac bypass graft after a botched back surgery and subsequent abdominal hernia repair times two then a left nephrectomy also related to the graft - it was impinging on the ureter and damaged my kidney because of back flow.) rnrnI loved his office staff; they just are calm, seem to know what they are doing, seem confident and really know their stuff.rnrnAt this point, the only negative thing was that they said I did not have to meet with him again before surgery and I would have liked my family to meet with him so I wish I had brought them with me. They are so worried. I am not though. I would rather not live than be like this."
