Patient Reviews
May 27, 2025
Dr. George performed hiatal hernia surgery on me and I am very pleased with the outcome. Very little pain afterwards and I am healing smoothly. He was so kind and calming before and after my surgery. He explained everything thoroughly. I am so happy I found him and would highly recommend using him! Victoria on his team is also amazing. So thankful for them both.
