Patient Reviews
Jul 06, 2023
Explained everything about surgery and risks. Made me feel safe and confident in his care. I have already recommended him to another patient. In post visit he explained everything he found and while examining my incision was very conscience of the pain he may cause. Listened to my concerns and addressed each one. I will and have recommended him to others.
