Patient Reviews
Sep 05, 2023
I went to the hospital for diverticulitis. This kind, sensible doctor helped me to avoid surgery for as long as possible. He listened well to my concerns and told me about what to expect. Once I went home to heal a little more, he repeated the CT scan. Because the diverticulitis has not healed, I will be going back for surgery to remove part of my colon next week. I am so glad he will be my doctor. I cannot say enough positive words about him.
