Patient Reviews
Nov 10, 2018
I've had a lot of surgeries, some botched and some just plain difficult, and in those cases the surgeons could care less once they've done the operation. Dr. Towbin is very different - he's a highly skilled surgeon (the best I've ever known) with an almost zero post-surgery infection rate. More important, he really cares about your recovery and is happy to meet with you later if you have any questions or concerns. He's a very nice guy with a very warm personality.
