Patient Reviews
Mar 12, 2022
Dr. James was great at explaining our options and the benefits of using pilonidal disease midline closure surgery. I’ve been dealing with this disease for close to two decades now and I’ve been through countless doctor visits. He made me feel at ease and helped me believe that the recovery was possible since he was a specialist with an extensive experience for 40 years in pilonidal disease treating countless patients. The surgery went really well with a long full recovery and multiple follow up because I didn’t stop smoking and it’s nothing to do with surgery. For a fast recovery, it’s highly recommended to stop smoking and follow the doctor’s recommendations. During every step of the way Dr. James is reassuring, kind, and patient. He is an honest, hard-working, knowledgeable, humorous, thoughtful, and pleasant surgeon who actually cares about his patients. His office staff is great. A great experience and we won't hesitate to use Dr. James again if needed. I’m eternally thankful t
