Patient Reviews
Nov 15, 2016
I wish I had known how amazing Dr Costa is, so I would not have allowed my fear from getting the surgery earlier and living with so much pain. I absolutely recommend him. My surgery went very well and my incisions were very clean and neat when I woke from surgery. I was in perfect hands. He gave me my regular life back.
