Patient Reviews
Dec 10, 2024
He took the time to explain everything in a way that was very easy to understand. Was compassionate after explaining what needed to be done. After surgery checked on me every day i was at the hospital. When I went for my inital appointment after going home listened to everything I said to him about how things were going and how I was feeling.
