Oct 29, 2019
Wonderful Doctor! I really connected with him. He made me feel like part of his family. His staff was wonderful as well. St Francis hospital gave the very best of care all the nurses and assistants could not have done a better job taking care of me. There has never been a better surgeon and staff. Love this group! If it were possible I would give them 10 STARS!!
