Dr Obermeyer is one of the best doctors we have ever met and the finest surgeon. It took us a while to finally decide to go thru with this procedure. He immediately put us at ease with his knowledge of the Nuss procedure and attention to detail. We felt confident entrusting our son in his care. We are now 3 months post-op with 2 bars in and our son is doing very well. I highly recommend both Dr Obermeyer and CHKD. The only reason I did not rate the cosmetic outcome a 10 is because our son is assymetrical and his outcome is not perfect. He looks much better than he did and breathing has increased for sure. Dr O warned us not to expect perfect results, he said to expect good. He was right. We are very happy with the amount of correction he was able to achieve.
