Patient Reviews
Oct 15, 2024
His patient care is excellent. He explained my heart issues in detail to me. I was given my option for better health and chance of survival. He is a concerned physician very caring. He went right to work getting all of my tests he needed to be able to do my surgery. He also sent me right away to a doctor for my cough so I would be in shape for the surgery. Just waiting on the tests results. I like the kindness and care I was shown.
