Patient Reviews
Sep 16, 2023
For me to say I love this doctor may seem weird but, I have had may doctors and surgeons in my 70 years. There have been a very few that I can say I’ve loved. He is straight forward but kind. Even draws pics on a dry erase board to show where your problem is and his intended approach to fix it. He treats me like I know my own body. We do argue at times but he listens. Over the last 3 years, he appears to have become with my underlying condition (spina bifida and how it does or does not effect the current issue He is now treating an abscess on my left amputation stump. Over the last 2 years , he has treated Peristomal hernias, and last year dealt with a severe necrotizing fasciitis. In other words, I trust him
