... bed side manner and great overall compared to Dr. Death (McKenna) who both HTH and myself saw on our earlier visit to The Rudd.

... I am so, very, very relieved that your surgery went well and that Dr. Sternthal was as gentle and compassionate as I thought he'd be. And Dr. Rudd himself too! I believe that the surgeons at that clinic are very good at what they do. My surgery definitely worked, even if it was unnecessarily ...

Hey RC, congrats!! Wow, I thought I was lucky for having Dr. Rudd, but you got two of the best there!!! I do understand though you definitely deserved this special attention after what you had to deal with for so long, and having to deal with a doc that ...

... LIS and thought it was just a follow up appt. After explaining my story he asked a nurse to stay late and they did the proceedure. Even had Dr. Rudd, the head Doc assisting him. They both were great and it was reassuring knowing I had 2 so experienced on my case. My only complaint is I still ...

I'm so sorry you are suffering so much, Redcharger. :( Adam had a good experience with Dr Rudd, so at least we have good reason to believe that the other surgeons at the Rudd Clinic aren't at brutal as McKenna. I wish you good luck and I really hope your surgery goes ...

I explained to Dr. Rudd that I had anal sex for the first time 3 weeks ago, and a week after that is when the pain started. He only had a problem that enough lubricant ...

... Just please don't be afraid to take something for pain if you need it. We can help with advice about avoiding constipation. I'm so glad you saw dr Rudd. He has a good reputation. I saw doctor dr McKenna at the downtown clinic. He is a jacka$$. He goes on anti-anal-sex rants and is brutal with his ...

... your last post in this thread just gave me a sigh of relief. I wish I could give you a big hug right now for that :) Also hopetoheal, which Rudd clinic did you visit? I believe there's 3 at least in Ontario. One downtown Toronto (the one I went to), one in Mississauga, and one somewhere ...
