Dr Watters was my surgeon but needed surgery sooner than later so Mika did my surgery. Kudos to Dr. Mika, would rather he slow his speech down but he will stay until ones questions are fully answered. As a retired RN myself I do feel confident with Dr. Mika also with great bedside manner pre and post surgery and at bedside in my room. Yeah I realize he's new but a keeper. He's also very timely to responding to placed phone calls and that's huge!
Great bedside manner and practical approach to addressing my condition.
Very knowledgeable and has wider bed side manners.
