Patient Reviews
Apr 26, 2022
I had an emergency surgery. I had to have my gallbladder removed a few weeks ago. I had developed painful galstones from my weight loss surgery a year ago. My galstone was inflamed. He was appointed my surgeon. I had such terrible anxiety and it turned out, I was not in surgery for to long, woke up maybe a hour and a half later. When I met him he every good communication skills told me every step of the way what to expect. Answering all my questions And he checked on me after my surgery making sure I was okay before I got discharged. He took my pain away if anything. Him and his team are wonderful. Thank you
