Patient Reviews
Oct 12, 2023
A skilled surgeon with excellent bedside manners. She operated on my father, who was admitted to MRCH ER due to severe stomach pain. She explained the treatment plan to us and operated on him the same day. She came over to us after the surgery and explained how it went. My Dad was discharged the next day and has been in good health since his surgery.
