Aug 15, 2023
Dr Umasky was kind and caring, listened to me and explained my situation thoroughly and he did more tests before surgery so he could be more up to date and more accurate in the results. I went to Dr.Umasky for my second opinion Dr.and knew then he would be my doctor to preform my surgery
