Patient Reviews
Jul 14, 2021
Consult for pending inguinal hernia surgery to correct a previous surgery by another VA Dr..He is very knowledgeable and clearly explained the possible choices and effect of each choice. He gave tremendous preference to what my wishes were, in line with possible outcomes. I had the other side done by him 5 years ago with no problems.
