My experience with Dr J and the Mayo clinic was exceptional. I was a difficult case. I had an implant for almost 30 years that had to be removed. During the removal and Nuss procedure, Dr J also found damage to my pectoral and rectus abdominus muscles. She was able to cut and reattach those muscles as well as install 3 bars to correct my PE. Prior to the surgery, she talked with me at length and took the time to get to know me, and my expectations. She gave me an honest assessment of what she felt I could expect, and then exceeded those expectations. My sternum is as flat as a board. I have resumed a high level of athletic participation, including heavy contact sports. My health and appearance are both a 10!
