I appreciate that Dr. Insel listens to my concerns and asks questions to gain the information needed to determine appropriate treatment. I also appreciate that he takes a conservative approach before moving to higher level treatment, such as surgery.

Very knowledgeable and up-to-date on the latest surgical techniques, listened carefully, laid out the options, answered all of my questions, and recommended a reasonable, measured approach. Finally, I did not feel rushed at all which, these days, is quite unusual.
