Yes, Dr. Gelernt assisted by Dr. Gorfine did my husband's surgeries in two stages in 1992 and 1993. My husband never had any revisions (what is that by the way??) .

Long story but I had a septum develop in the Pouch which was preventing me from completely evacuating the Pouch. I knew something was wrong because it felt like stool was “hitting a wall”, and it was. It was surgically corrected by Dr. Gorfine.

I think it was probably a good idea to cancel the appointment because for $650 he would be telling you there is nothing he can do and he would probably just rubber stamp what the Gastro already said. If there is a legit surgical issue it’s at least good to have found out you can get an appointment with him that quick. So maybe not all for naught, but he will probably be retired pretty soon. He has to be close to 70 now, I am guessing.
