I alway looked forward to my recheck appointments with him. 10 years after he performed Back Surgery that’s sill good. He is so friendly and cares. Best of all he remembers his patients and is the Greatest Doctor in my opinion. His PA is also very nice and attentive to my concerns and professional in her job.
