Hi there..I live in NY and I am having surgery on June 7th. The CRS I am using is Frank Lacqua and he has offices in Brooklyn and Staten Island. He performed surgery on my son last year for a pilonidal cyst removal..he came highly recommended then and I did lots of research on him. All of his reviews are excellent, he has been awarded Castle Connolly best doctors and he is also on the US News Best Colo-Rectal Surgeons. Any of his patients that took the time to write a review online has said only good things- although a few weren't happy with his bedside manner- eh, he's a surgeon. Personally, I like him..he did NOT suggest surgery at my first visit, when another CRS DID who didn't even examine me. On another note, because I was in the legal field so long it is second nature to look up any lawsuits and I only saw one- and I can't tell you what that is for. I asked him about any of his patients having incontinence issues after surgery and he said none. I am terrified, but in pain almost daily on different levels, so I am going for it. I truly believe that a qualified CRS makes all the difference. Good luck..I hope this helps!
