Patient Reviews
Aug 08, 2024
Outstanding!!! I can't say enough about how fortunate I was to have Dr. Hwu as my surgeon to repair my hernia. He takes his profession very seriously, explained the procedure, and answered all of my questions, even my stupid ones. I expected lots of pain and discomfort following the procedure but had little to none. I credit this to his care and expertise. Thank you doctor, you're the best!
