Patient Reviews
Feb 02, 2023
I was so pleasantly surprised by this visit that I'm writing a review (which I never do!). I was a bit nervous about going to a colorectal surgeon, especially a male one as I am early 30s F. I was blown away by the doctor. Having your bum looked at is a bit of a vulnerable uncomfortable thing, but he goes out of his way to bring humor to the situation and make you feel at ease. There were even little touches liking making sure a female attendant was in the room that I found very thoughtful. A+ doc. I wish there were more like him out there.
