Jake M.

Surgical associates were absolutely fabulous to work with. The good doctor Brennan was amazing at getting me in and getting my surgery done. I was in a lot of pain and he and everyone involved were amazing and made sure I knew what was going on the entire time. Top marks from me. Thank you to whomever helped with my surgery that I didn’t thank in person, you all were wonderful. Thank you so much!

Cindy B.

I ended up in the hospital with what turned out to be emergency gallbladder surgery. Dr. Geocaris was key in helping diagnose this, and also in removing it. My experience with the entire team at Surgical Associates of Neenah was top notch from pre-surgery to after care follow ups.

Farzaneh M.

I love Surgical Associates of Neenah because of their WORLD CLASS quality; especially professional and caring performance of my Surgeon Dr. Kevin Wasco. He and his wonderful team go above and beyond as you are the only patient ever. They are LIFE-SAVERS as they have saved mine. There is no word to describe their high quality and no word to thank them enough.

Farzaneh B.

The best Surgeons and the most knowledgeable staff in the entire State and maybe the entire Nation!My Surgeon, Dr. Wasco and his caring professional Team have been wonderful to me and for me.I can't wait to become their "Poster-Child" even though I am considered an "old and fragile" person. They have been great as to answering my questions and taking the best possible care of me. I am forever grateful. 💕

julie P.

Dr Burkett and his staff were all kind and took the necessary time to thoroughly explain my procedure and answer all questions. I couldn't not have been pleased with my surgical results!

Lois D.

Dr. Wasco bent over backwards to get me in quickly for a procedure that I was dealing with for 5 months! His whole team is amazing, work well together, and Dr. Wasco is an amazing doctor who obviously cares about the health of his patients.

JoAnn W.

The care provided to me and my husband by Dr Burkett and Dr Edison is the very best. I value their care and have so much faith in what they do for us. Thank you so much.

Patti L.

The entire team at Surgical Associates of Neenah was professional and compassionate. They really kept me at ease during a very stressful day. Dr. Edison explained everything and the procedure was over so quickly. I would highly recommend them.

Jim F.

Excellent attention to detail while showing sincere interest in my well fare.

Jennifer B.

Dr. Brennan was and is fantastic!!! So is his NP who helped us with follow up Post Op appointments. Both were thorough, patient and kind. Dr. Brennan ‘got it’ in terms of performing surgery on my son who has both Down syndrome and Autism. Honestly, my only suggestions for improvement would be accessing the office and waiting with a kid like my son. It was a LONG walk from the parking lot for anyone but especially someone who recently had surgery (suite was under construction). The bathroom was outside the office suite which presented challenges with my son who wanted to wander and explore (and we needed to limit his mobility).I would highly recommend Dr. Brennan and would not hesitate to refer him and his team to a friend.

Bethany R.

Dr. Bly and his care team are excellent! They were wonderful to work with, prioritized my care and well being. Within two meetings I felt like I'd been seeing Dr. Bly for years. You don't get that kind of familiarity and concern for someone without meeting a doctor who truly cares for his patients.

Lynda S.

If one has to have one's sigmoid colon removed among other things, Dr. Cynthia Geocaris,
Jessica Zarzeky, PA, and their team were outstanding. Their care filled assessment, expertise in laparoscopic surgery at the highest level, and interpersonal
guidance before and in recovery allowed me a feeling of safety and assurance throughout a complicated procedure. Three cheers for all who contributed to such a great outcome in a complex process.

Patrick M.

After running some test, Dr. Geocaris acted quickly to resolve my situation. With her confidence and positive attitude, she put me at ease knowing that I was in good hands.

Keith M M.

A very professional and personal visits. DR Burkett is down to earth and easy to talk to!!

Jessica T.

Dr. Edison and his nurse practitioner were kind and thorough. They both gave me the time I needed to answer all my questions.

Mike K.

I'm still amazed that my problem, diagnosis, and gallbladder removal all took place within one day. Dr. Brennan, and the entire staff, answered all of my questions before my procedure, and had me home resting comfortably that same day.

Faye B.

Chris W.

My appendix decided we couldn’t be friends anymore. Amazing how quick I was up and back around. Dr Bly did a great job and only have 3 little holes for scars.

Donna M.

Great experience. They answered all my questions, and reassured me about my surgery.

Sue S.

Dr. Burkett is a very kind and I actually enjoyed being his patient. If I need further care from a surgeon, I would ask specifically for him.

Teresa P.

the care is amazing the team of doctors listen to you

Paul S.

Went here for a colonoscopy. The entire staff was friendly, professional, and efficient. Dr. Geocaris was phenomenal. She articulated everything that was going to happen very well and she had a wonderfully gentle and compassionate bedside manner. I’d recommend Surgical Associates of Neenah as well as Dr Geocaris to anyone.

Donald W.

Dr. Edison was easy to talk to and thorough in my visit with him.

Ashley M.

Thank you thank you thank you for keeping me so comfortable from beginning to end. Everyone was so sweet, it made this procedure easy for me.

John M.

I had hernia repair surgery back in 1996 with Dr. Burkett. At the time, he and his associates were the only ones using laparoscopy to repair hernias. My recovery was only a few days before I could return to work. Then, a few weeks ago when I thought I had either damaged my old repair or got another hernia, there was no thought of going anywhere else. Fortunately, there was no damage that needed surgery, only a strain. These doctors always stay ahead of the game. Only surgeons I'd ever consider going to.

Maggie J.

Thank you to Dr. David Schultz, the staff at Surgical Associates of Neenah & staff at Alyward Surgery Center in Neenah for taking great care of me during prep, surgery & post-care. After 3 months of extreme pain I am glad to be gallbladder free! THANK YOU!

Kenneth S.

I have had carotid artery surgery with Dr. Burkett. The care before and the followup after was great. I couldn't honestly say how it could be any better.

Sharon Wildman B.

I had bariatric surgery in January and am almost at my goal weight. No real problems and I love Dr. Wasco and Betsy. You can tell they really care.

Kasey J.

Dr Burkett did a great job helping me with emergency surgery. Excellent follow up and excellent bedside manner!!! Much appreciated.

Kathryn S.

Excellent place with excellent staff, very Blessed to have this place.

Julie Jensen Z.

I have had several surgical procedures with Dr. Wasco and Betsy. They are beyond amazing. I'm a retired ICU RN and I appreciate how knowledgeable, skilled and caring they are,as well as their support staff and everyone that has taken care of me at Theda Clark also. My mother also just had a procedure done by Dr. Brennan and he was amazing as well.

Paulette B.

I had gastric bypass surgery with Dr. Wasco 1/30/18 and I can't tell you how pleased I am with the whole process. The entire staff at Surgical Associates were very personable, professional and helpful. My experience was actually a pleasant one! Follow up care is a pleasure. I feel very well cared for and every question or problem was addressed immediately. I highly recommend Surgical Associates for any surgery you are looking at.

Sam G.

If you have to have surgery I would highly recommend this place! They were amazing with everything they did.

Tonia Volz A.

From the check-in process to the prep and straight through surgery, it was an incredible process. Dr. Wasco was an amazing surgeon who came highly recommended and lived up to every bit of the hype.

Karen A B.

From the time Im registered for surgery to the time I went home the next day, everyone was very very Pleasant. It was my first time being a PATIENT and was very surprised by everyones kindness.
