Dr. Kerry Sullivan

When I was a young boy I saw this lady with my dad about potentially getting the nuss procedure. She explained pectus excavatum as a condition that was cosmetic. She said that most people with pectus tend to be skinny and spoke very plainly about this condition. What she didn't mention is that I could experience Cardiac Compression, Exercise Intolerence, Chest Pain, Difficulty Breathing, and Mental Distress. Since 2013 I took her word for what she said about my condition whilst completely experiencing symptoms that did not line up with what she said at all, nearly a decade of these symptoms and my life trajectory has been significantly altered. After seeing the previous review, I spoke with her and asked her about it, even linking her the review. She said " i don't know the review your referring to, but anyone can say anything they want online, and we don't pay to edit any of it". Well, Personally, I think she does not deserve to have a career. This kind of misleading has me completely disheartened and praying for the other people who have had the misfortune of having this women being a totem in their life. Do not take her word. She has altered years of my life and robbed me of happiness and safety. She does not deserve to have a career or to be considered a specialist regarding this condition. Shameful person and malicious human being.

This surgeon should be avoided at all costs. She led me to believe it was in her capacity to repair my Pectus Excavatum without issue. She believes the P.E condition causes no physical symptoms, and that it's all cosmetic. Upon awakening from surgery I immediately noticed the deformity was not corrected in any capacity. She had placed a 17" bar (far too big for my chest size) several inches above my actual deformity ( nowhere near the sternum). As a result of her handy work, I was in much worse condition than when I came to her for help. I still had a deep P.E, the bar she placed was so large that it literally caused pectus carinumtum in my upper sternum. I lived in pain and with a twisted figure for nearly 2 years before Dr. Dawn Jaroszewski from Mayo Clinic gave me my life back.

After the operation the initial surgeon, Dr. Kerry Sullivan, would continuously tell me that the surgery was successful and the appearance would get better in time. She is either delusional or a liar ( I don't know which is worse). At best she could have at last told me I should seek another surgeons skills to fix my P.E, but instead she just acted like there was no necessity for such a thing. I wish she would have not placed the bars at all once she realized she was out of her league, however she left it in place, stitched me up, and left me to suffer until I could find a competent person to remove them.
