Patient Reviews
Mar 28, 2024
He was the most personable and kind surgeon I've ever had. And in the past 3 years I've had a lot. He checked up on me and explained everything I was going through and why.. I had late stage Colon Cancer. I'm alive today because of his care, but even beyond that was the way he treated me after my first surgery . I was in the hospital for a long time and have been since, but my ability to keep going today and know that I'm going to beat anything cancer throws at me, started with feeling like a there was actually a surgeon out there like him who took the time for his patient beyond just checking her out of the chart. Great individual and never let me give up.
