Good people, am looking for a good surgeon who has experience with surgeries for hernias? I know it is a "small" procedure but i have heard horror stories with some of these corrective surgeries.... I am scared out of my skin but seems i got to face it.... Now, anyone you can refer me to? and also very important, an anesthetist..... Anyone knows how much it would cost - roughly?

@Wendz,

God is with you, so do not be afraid. Also, there are many fine surgeons in Kenya. Its just that we hear the bad news more.

What you will be looking for is a general surgeon. These are many. Most surgeons choose their anesthetists so you may want to ask who does the anesthesia from the doctor then find out about him. I have had these either operate on a friend or a relative and been OK.

•Prof John Adwok - Nairobi Hospital Doctors Plaza
•Dr Edwin Otieno -He is in ICEA Building
•Dr J. Githaiga-Nairobi Hospital-though does more of breast surgery.
•Dr George F. Jumba -Aga Khan Dr's Plaza

P.S- Please counter check with your medical insurer who they have on the panel.

All the best dear.

That's very important info. Thanks so much @Ms Kenya. Am allowed to use any doc. I will check with the ones you've listed.

@ Famooz how far or near it is depends on Wendz shags. If her shags is in Kinoo, Kijabe is very far. If her shags is in Mbita point, Kijabe is in Nairobi.

@Wendz, am glad you are macho. On Tuesday was told of a doc who diagonised cancer on a small boy yet he had hearnia. Luckily, the parents sought a 2nd opinion and were told it was hernia. Imagine if that doc had proceeded to treat the boy. Pure disaster.

@Wends...........even in Kijabe be carefull,insist that you are not attended to by the trainees,i delivered my son from Kijabe (normal delivery) and i nursed my wound down there for 7 good months,they had made a blander....
