Patient Reviews
Nov 18, 2020
Positive. Instead of performing surgery right away (which I eventually needed) he asked if I could wait, try to eat differently and exercise more, before he installed the stent. He always seems to have the patients best interest in mind, rather than to just into a surgery condition. This type of relationship and philosophy is much appreciated.
