Apr 23, 2024
What a caring and compassionate doctor!! He has now performed 4 surgeries on me (four different areas) and I’ve never had one problem with anything he did. He’s a highly skilled surgeon and I will use him if ever I need anything else surgically. He’s nice, calm, caring, patient, kind and so is his staff. I’m blessed for knowing him!!
