I had a hernia surgery about 6 months ago, before the surgery Dr. Panait answered all my questions professionally with patience and kindness, explained everything to me that I was supposed to know. Very well and understanding surgeon, he told me that it’s going to take a while for a full recovery and I have to be patient but in the beginning it was kind of hard for me because I had some pain and difficulty, but he said it’s going to be fine. It just take some more times and he was right and now I am feeling much better and I... read more

I had a hernia larger than a baseball. Dr. Panait did an outstanding job! I feel like a new man, after 2 weeks of recovery. I can't thank him enough. I was a cash customer and the cost was very reasonable, especially for a specialist. Him and his staff were excellent!

Awful; at first helped, but I had a complication from surgery. Dr. Panait promised 3x he would redo incision just to check and then didn’t. I went with another surgeon after 6 months of agony and he found a nerve knotted in a suture. Now if I schedule video appointments he doesn’t even answer. Be careful, if you are going to go with him: do robotic not open.

Based on great online reviews I decided to see Dr. Panait for an inguinal hernia evaluation. I am glad I did. After a thorough evaluation, he determined that there was no need for surgery. This was contrary to a different surgeon whom I had seen 3 years earlier who decided after a 10 second examination that I would need bilateral hernia surgery, which I decided to not have done.Dr. Panait is easy to talk to, takes the time to listen to your concerns, and explains things well. I am fully confident in the plan he laid out goin... read more

I have never had surgery which required general anesthesia, so when it came to my annoying inguinal hernia problem, I did some thorough due diligence first. I decided to look for doctors who specialized in hernia repair. Dr. Panait checked all the boxes. He had great reviews on many different websites, and I was even more impressed when I met him for my initial visit. He was patient, personable, and thoughtful. For my situation he recommended the robotic assisted laparoscopic repair with mesh. The surgery went like clockwork... read more

I highly recommend Dr. Panait! I underwent inguinal hernia repair three weeks ago, and my recovery has exceeded all expectations. He is talented, personable, and approachable, which made the entire process more comfortable and reassuring. A special shout out to his office team and everyone at Fairview Southdale for their attentive and thoughtful care. If you need hernia repair surgery, you want a specialist like Dr. Panait. Thank you so much!
