Patient Reviews
Dec 14, 2022
Answered all of our questions for my wife’s thyroid removal. Followed up night of surgery after she was released and following day to check on her progress. Very much appreciated. Wasn’t rushed and very patient with her as she was very apprehensive and anxious prior to surgery. Excellent staff was very helpful and professional.
