I had parathyroidectomy at Tampa General Hospital ...

I had parathyroidectomy at Tampa General Hospital s Norman Parathyroid Center on December 16, 2019. I traveled down to Tampa from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada and I can tell you already that it was so worth it, even though I had to pay for the whole surgery by myself. Government of Ontario rejected my request to participate on it. Waiting time in Ontario, Canada is so long for this type of surgery and my health condition didn t allow me to wait that long.

Entire staff in Tampa General Hospital s Norman Parathyroid Center is amazing. Everyone from their receptionist, transport team, nurses, anesthesia team and surgeons were so kind and caring.

I had pleasure of having Dr. Douglas E. Politz as my surgeon and he did a flawless and totally professional job!!! The surgery only took thirty minutes with zero complications. I had no pain after operation, only soreness which is to be expected. So far on January 2020 my incision is healing beautifully. The night after the surgery Dr. Politz gave me a call to see how I was doing and made sure to let me know to contact him if I had any questions or concerns. Next day I safely drove my car to Naples, FL, for the time of recovery.

Dr. Politz is by far the best doctor I have had. Thank you Dr. Politz and the Norman Parathyroid Center for your hospitality and care.
