Excellent bedside manner!! I like how he took the time to do a pre-op appointment with me so that my husband and I could ask any questions that we had. He was more concerned with preserving my original body parts and making sure that I had a better quality of life rather encouraging me to do the more expensive option. I highly recommend him to anyone needing surgery!!
