He saved my life in 2009. I had a burst diverticula and was in severe pain. Dr. Terz performed a laparotomy and cleared out my abdominal cavity, and everted my sigmoid colon. It was then necessary for me to utilize a colonoscopy bag for waste material for five months.Subsequently Dr. Terz resected my intestine with a second laparotomy. .As soon as bowel sounds were heard, I was allowed to eat. Soon I went home, weak but healing. The second surgery was more debilitating than the first. I owe Dr. Terz so much and I am very grateful for his skill.
