Patient Reviews
Jul 14, 2023
I went to him for a second opinion. He took the time to ask me how I felt, not just about the tests or ultra sounds results. I had my thyroid removed due to thyroid cancer that did not show up in a fine needle biopsy. The first opinion just wanted to “watch a nodule grow”. I’m glad I didn’t. It was cancer. The operating room was booked out a couple weeks and I really didn’t want to put it off that long. He performed my surgery on a Saturday. I was back to work after only 7 days!
