Patient Reviews
May 09, 2024
I was admitted to the hospital and needed unplanned surgery. Dr Christopher came highly recommended by his coworkers (friends of our family). After meeting him and hearing his plan for the procedure, I became relaxed and looking forward to resolution. His explanations were clear and well thought out, he was very patient with this patient!
