Patient Reviews
Jul 09, 2024
Overall, I would wholeheartedly recommend. Note that communication is difficult outside scheduled appts with Dr., particularly for medical advice. I have experienced aggressive nurse responses that nothing is wrong or that I did something to cause the problem. If this happens, consider writing your concern to the chart so it is in your own words, or reach out to your referring Dr for advice. Otherwise, it has been my experience that you are in the best hands with this surgical team.
