Shanna Gannon
“
After 4 and a half years of fecal incontinence, I was frustrated, and felt desperate for a solution. Choosing to go ahead with the Axonics implant device was life changing for me. I saw immediate and prodigious results. No longer incontinent, I am able to travel, go to church, attend meetings in person, and go shopping without fear of accidents or having to bring a change of clothes with me!! I go hiking and I swim. I cannot say enough about Dr. John Aversa and Shanna Gannon, PA-C, and their clinical staff. All my needs were tended to, with the TLC of a family member.
If you are considering surgery for the Axonics implant device, neurostimulator, I strongly recommend it. This decision is one that I will never regret. To say the very least, I got my life back, and I am grateful to the Axonics Team for their support, their regular availability, and their expertise in managing my device.

John Aversa
“
Dr. Aversa is a skilled, caring Doc, and a fine communicator. He helped clarify and correct a thorny intestinal problem for my wife, which included carving out a place in his busy schedule to treat her very promptly. The operation went well. He explained what was needed clearly and left us confident in his skills and commitment. I couldn’t ask for more.
