Hey Everyone, My name is Darcy.

Home - Rumford Surgeon: Dr. Roy Cobean I've had a couple complications, an ulcer and a strangulated hernia that required emergency surgery by Dr. Wolfe (Dr. Cobean was in Colorado) on February 20, 2008. Not fun! Very scary, but would I do it all again given the outcome? Absolutely!!!! Without question!
