What my patients say

“After spending 6 months contemplating whether or not to have surgery to repair my umbilical hernia, it only took one meeting with Dr. Javier Serrano to finally make the decision to move forward with it. From the first second I met Javier, I felt more comfortable than I ever have before with a surgeon. This is especially impressive considering my first language is English and his, Español. Despite the language gap, we communicated very well and I consider Javier´s level of English sufficient to keep an English-speaking patient well-informed. His demeanor and personality are comforting and relaxed, while still being detailed and informative. Javier even gave me his personal WhatsApp number after the first meeting and promptly answered every question I had leading up to the surgery. I never felt rushed or pressured to make a decision throughout the entire process, just well informed and confident. The surgery was scheduled for 8 days after the initial consultation, the ideal time period I desired. Through discussion and consultation, we also decided to remove 3 benign lipomas and a skin tag that were bothering me as well. The surgery took place at Qlub Quirófanos Oviedo, which beyond impressed me in terms of the cleanliness, state-of-the-art equipment, friendly staff, timeliness, etc. Javier met with me in the lobby prior to the surgery and I can honestly say by the time I went in for the surgery I had not an ounce of worry and was actually excited for the surgery. I was fully confident that Javier and the rest of the medical staff would do their absolute best to fix me up. The entire billed time for the surgery (15 mm umbilical hernia repair, removal of 3 lipomas and one skin tag) was approximately an hour and a half, very efficient from my perspective. The TOTAL cost of the surgery process (consultations, blood work, ultrasound, surgery, surgeon and clinic fees, insurance, post-surgery care, etc.) was approximately $1600 USD, which was beyond fair, especially for Medellin and considering the level of attention and care I received throughout the process. After the surgery, Javier continued to promptly answer any question I had during the recovery process via Whatsapp. The healing process went so well that I didn't need a single pill for pain, how amazing! 5 days post-surgery I met with Javier in-person for a check-up and everything was healing properly. I am writing this review on day 18 (post-surgery) and am still happy to say everything is going as well as I could have expected. I am following the recommended recovery steps diligently and trust in any advice Javier has given. 10/10 rating for Dr. Javier Serrano on my umbilical hernia surgery!”

Frequently asked questions

How long does the hernia surgery and recovery process take?

Laparoscopic hernia surgery typically lasts between 60 and 90 minutes. Most of my patients can return home the same day or the next. Full recovery, with a return to normal activities, can take a few weeks, depending on the complexity of the hernia and your individual progress.

What is the approximate cost of hernia surgery, and do you offer payment facilities?

The cost of hernia surgery can vary depending on the complexity of the case and specific requirements. During the consultation, I will provide you with a detailed quote. I do not offer direct financing, but we can explore payment options and check coverage with your medical insurance if applicable.

What side effects or risks should I consider with hernia surgery?

As with any surgical procedure, there are some risks, although they are rare with laparoscopy. You might experience mild pain at the incision site, swelling, or bruising. We will discuss all possible risks with you and how we minimize them in your particular case, aiming for your greatest safety.

What should I expect in my first consultation with you?

In your first consultation, I will perform a complete evaluation of your hernia, reviewing your medical history and conducting a physical examination. I will explain the treatment options, especially laparoscopic surgery, and answer all your questions so that you feel calm and well-informed about your condition.

Is there any reason why I might not be able to have hernia surgery?

There are some medical conditions that might make surgery less advisable or require a more thorough evaluation. For example, certain severe heart conditions or clotting problems. I will assess your general health to determine if you are a suitable candidate for surgery and if it is the opportune moment.

Are there non-surgical alternatives to treat a hernia?

For most hernias, surgery is the only effective treatment to repair the abdominal wall defect. In some very specific cases and under supervision, observation may be an option, but this does not correct the hernia and can lead to complications. We will discuss if this option is relevant to your situation and its implications.
