Doctor Knops has a very light-hearted, kind and comical personality. We felt comfortable asking him questions and had no problem trusting him with my upcoming surgery. He does a great job communicating to us the pros and cons of surgery, as well as ensuring that the patient is safe and sound.

He was so amazing with my 18 month old. Explained everything clearly, was playful, gentle, and let me ask questions. I left feeling heard, and my daughter was grinning ear to ear (despite needing tubes).
