Patient Reviews
Nov 26, 2019
He might be an excellent surgeon but he and his team really need to work on his customer/patient skills, going back to him after surgery was always a sour experience. They just don't want to see you after they are done with your surgery and they do it in a rude way. Too bad, but he needs to be more careful with his patients, just because we get worry about our condition is not a reason to send us to see a psychiatrist.!!!
