5.0 star star star star starIncredibly talented surgeon with a wonderful bedside manner. Extreme expertise with the type of surgery I needed. Outstanding staff, good explanations of procedure expected outcome. As far as I can tell the results I see to date could not have been better. Prompt response to any questions I had. Thorough explanation of procedure prescriptions and it needed supplies. Excellent written instructions for follow up care. He is the best surgeon I've dealt with. Very conscientious and attentive to concerns. It was helpful that he stated realistic goals for the outcome of the surgery. I think his excellent work surpassed my hopes.
