Patient Reviews
Feb 15, 2018
Very direct and honest with his evaluations for surgery. He enjoys his work. He is the first surgeon to show me a photo of the surgical repair after I woke up from anesthesia. I had a Nissen Fundoplication with good results afterwards. I think this speaks to his honesty and ability to get patients to understand the surgical procedure in question. Thanks Dr. Towe.
