I had another failure and because of an insurance issue with my previous doctors hospital I was denied coverage. I was in a very dark place after being refused surgery because of insurance. I reached out on a Saturday to Dr Tariq Hakky’s web page and sent a request to be contacted. In less than and hour I received a email stating someone from his office would contact Monday morning.
Dr Hakky replaced the device due to pump failure. I had an accidental fall that caused some injuries that caused a tear in one of the areas containing one of the cylinders. I ask for a total replacement vers trying to repair the device. I see Dr Hakky again next week to determine the cause of this failure.
I can not speak highly enough of Dr Hakky. He along with his staff and his great operating room team have been wonderful. After being in such a dark place I was so blessed and fortunate to find this doctor and his practice.
The device has been every issue but one so far. I am almost sure it’s the device once again but I don’t know right now.
Thanks again for everyone’s input and replies!!
I'm sorry you had to go through all of that. Did you have to pay anything for each of the revisions, or were they completely free (including doctor's work)?
So you had 4 pump failures + 1 cylinder failure because of falling?
Can I ask which pump model you had? I heard Coloplast had some problems with the pump before.
