I decided to seek a different surgeon for my left inguinal hernia repair. I had an open inguinal hernia repair procedure on my right side 8 years previously and for personal reasons sought a different doctor when my left side started giving me the same telltale signs. Dr. Panait patiently listened to my concerns and after an examination advised me that he could resolve my hernia utilizing a laparoscopic (robotic) procedure. After having hernias surgically repaired utilizing both methods, open and robotic, I highly recommend robotic. It definitely cut down on the recovery time by about half. Thank you Dr. Panait.

I highly recommend Dr. Panait and his team for the outstanding care I received during my hernia repair surgery. The procedure was done using the latest in minimally invasive robotic assisted techniques and took place at North Memorial Hospital, which is a modern, first-class facility with an excellent staff.
From start to finish, Dr. Panait was professional, compassionate, and extremely knowledgeable. I appreciated how simple it was to schedule an appointment without unnecessary referrals or extra steps. Because he has an independent practice with surgical privileges at several major hospitals, I was able to choose where I had my surgery and quickly get it scheduled.
Dr. Panait truly cares about his patients and takes the time to ensure the best possible outcome. I’m very grateful for the experience and would recommend the MN. Hernia Center and Dr. Panait without hesitation.

I just had a hernia surgery done by Dr Paniat this morning. Surgery went well and I don’t have much pain so far! It’s now about 12 hours later. He’s a skilled surgeon and will do well for a reasonable price! I give him 5 stars and a fist bump!!😁

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 going forward if my pain recurs.

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 and my recovery is going better than I expected. I highly recommend Dr. Panait.

I'm so grateful I searched out a second opinion regarding my incisional hernia. I came across Dr. Panait through a Google search and after reading countless excellent reviews I was confident to seek him out.
From the moment I spoke to Dr. Panait he was wonderful. He was caring, compassionate, knowledgeable and patient with all my questions. He took his time, and treated you like a person not a number. I proceeded to go forward with surgery. The surgery went well and I'm 3 weeks out and recovering great! In fact his assistant Larisa is wonderful as well. He's got a great team. I recommend Dr. Panait very highly. If you're in need of hernia repair, look no further. He truly has great bedside manner and is an excellent and precise surgeon. 🙂
