Patient Reviews
Sep 22, 2021
He is an excellent Surgeon; I am thrilled my primary doctor referred me to him. He was caring prior to and after the surgery. He explained the procedure and care in detail I needed. He contacted my daughter after surgery and provided her detailed information to assist me in post surgery recovery.
