Ayman Neoman, MD FASCRS

Back in late 2009, I was diagnosed with Colon Cancer (many many polyps the entire length of the colon). After the customary colonoscopy, Dr. Neoman told me that most if not all of the colon would have to go. It may even come down to a colostomy bag depending on what he found once he got a first hand look. As many people can imagine a colostomy bag can put a real dent in what you can/can’t do. I asked him if there was any way to avoid the bag that was the way I wanted to go. He braced me for the worst with a heads up that I might be needing to use the WC 3 – 5 times a day, but would do what he could to leave me enough bowel to maintain somewhat normal function. Here it is four years later, with 90%+ of the large intestine gone and I could not ask for better results under the circumstances. With a moderate diet I may have to visit the WC once a day on average.
I was happy with his staff and he sat down and explained to me in layman’s terms what was going to happen and why, and what to expect after the surgery. Thank you very much Dr. Neoman for enabling me to maintain as much of a normal life as I could expect given the severity of the surgery. Should others find themselves in need of a Colo-​rectal surgeon, I would highly recommend Dr. Neoman.

I too have a hard time with Michael P.‘s review… I had never seen Dr. Neoman before last Wednesday. I was in a world of hurt, and this very professional Dr. took one look at my problem, and lo and behold, I am in surgery the next morning. He was very professional, kind, and addressed my Husband with all of my post operative needs while I was quite incapacitated (in a very good way). He is quick to manage your pain issues, and I would go back to him in a second. My Family is between GP’s right now, and will very likely go to his wife as our family Dr.

My wife had to have major colon surgery (the removal of 12 inches of her colon), and the HMO told us that Dr. Neoman was the one who would do the surgery. I went onto Unilocal and read the May 6, 2010 review by Michael P., and I was a little concerned. With respect, I must disagree with Michael. We had a terrific experience with Dr. Neoman.
First, the bad news: his waiting room is really cramped, and the furniture is out of date. That’s it.
But now the good news — his office staff, particularly his office manager, were competent, considerate, and businesslike. The doctor himself is a delight — he has a wonderful sense of humor (which isn’t exactly what you would expect in a colo-​rectal surgeon). He is warm and caring. Our initial interview was very encouraging.
The surgery itself went wonderfully — he was able to do it laparoscopically. (There was a chance that laparoscopic surgery wouldn’t be available, depending on the location of the polyp.) My wife’s recovery was rapid. He visited her every day in the hospital. He came in late on a Saturday afternoon to tell her that he had just received the biopsy reports (which, thank goodness, were benign). Our follow-​up visits with him were equally excellent — he patiently answered all of our questions. I strongly recommend this doctor.
