For most, severe abdominal pain is a clear sign to seek emergency help. But for Anthony Taglieri, 81, a retired operating room nurse, it was also a moment of self-diagnosis. After 37 years in the field, he recognized the symptoms of a gallbladder attack and knew he needed immediate care.
Meet Jessica Treto, M.D., the general surgeon at Bayshore Medical Center who met Anthony in the emergency room. She confirmed his suspicions and recommended a minimally invasive robotic-assisted surgery to remove his gallbladder. Why did this experienced nurse feel instantly comfortable, and what happened months later that sent him back to Dr. Treto?
After a successful and speedy recovery from his first procedure, a new problem emerged: a hernia that became an emergency while he was on vacation. Anthony insisted on returning to New Jersey to see Dr. Treto for a second robotic-assisted surgery. Discover why this medical professional put his trust in his local community hospital for high-quality, advanced surgical care.
