Dr. John Stephen Visger

I have had 2 inguinal surgeries performed at different times on both sides by Dr. Visger. I read reviews about "bedside manner" not being satisfactory.I didn't find that a problem. I do research. So should everyone. The first surgery several years back was performed laparoscopically with a mesh. The more recent was a robotic technique, which I had not done research. Four star rating is a high rating. Why not 5? I was a little nervous to find a new procedure. The use of robotic takes a learning curve. I didn't know where Dr. Visger was on that curve. There are pros and cons, I have since learned. At any rate the surgery went fine with no problems. I have had 2 inguinal surgeries performed at different times on both sides by Dr. Visger.

The worst appointment I have ever had. Refused to believe that I knew about my condition that I've dealt with for 8+ years, talked down to me, brought in a male student for my extremely personal exam without asking if I was okay with it, and was overall extremely rude to me. He told me that my previous doctors had been irresponsible and that I had been as well. He also expected me to be able to pay out of pocket for an expensive procedure because I had told him that my insurance wouldn't cover it and had told him that I hadn't been able to pay for the small amount of preventive care I had been doing had to stop because I couldn't afford it either because of unemployment. He was the most rude and inconsiderate doctor that I have ever met in my life and I will actively warn people against seeing him. The worst appointment I have ever had.

I had an amazing experience with Dr. Visger. He even took the time to call me himself to go over my surgery with me. He is a terrific surgeon.

I’ve never been more uncomfortable or disrespected by a doctor. I wouldn’t let this dude touch me with a 12ft pole thank god I meant him pre op so I could cancel and find a new surgeon. Rude, condescending and unprofessional. Walked out half way through because I felt so uncomfortable and mistreated.

I am a medically retired RN,BSN. He shoots straight from the hip realizing I have 4 years of science and medical training. I avoid Gritman Medical based on many, many negative experiences with their staff.

Dude fixed my hernia 7 years ago and it's still good!

Dr. Visger is an outstanding surgeon

I have had two surgeries in the last two months by Dr. Visger and feel he is very competent. Just make sure you go to Grittman Hospital and not Pullman. The 2nd surgery was due to poor post op care at Pullman. Beware.
