I highly recommend Dr Bour. He took his time to explain the surgical procedure and made me feel more at ease. He left the decision up to me and I felt no pressure from him. I did not feel rushed like I do with most Doctors.

Great Doctor

Dr. Bour exceeded any possible expectations I had for a surgeon. He spent time thoroughly educating me about my condition and how it impacts me. He showed me images and drew diagrams to help me understand. He explained options moving forward, and he addressed my concerns for my life and goals as far as being active, playing sports, and what impact losing fat would have on the hernia. I immediately told my wife and friends how great he was. I’d recommend him to anyone looking for a surgeon who is knowledgeable, experienced, caring, and an excellent communicator.

My HERO! Dr. Bour did for me what no one was willing to do for years. I suffered to the point of almost dying from extreme malabsorption aniema due to a "massive" hiatal hernia! I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Bour as a very detailed, caring, attentive and VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE surgeon! He gave me back my life! I knew from the first deep breath in recovery that I was going to leave the hospital a new woman, not like the dying one that had arrived in such desperate need of help to survive another day! I will forever be grateful that God used Dr. Bour's medical knowledge, his steady hands, and his perfect patient care that gave me a new lease on life! A vigorously healthy and vibrant life! THANK YOU! ❤️
