Jan 20, 2024
We were very lucky that Dr. Slimack was on call in the hospital when my husband was admitted to ER. After an MRI, CT Scans, my husband was in surgery that night with Dr. Slimack. Dr. Slimack explained everything in visual and simple terminology and made us feel very comfortable. Definitely a 5*****
