Thorough, patient, clear and concise! Takes his time to make sure your questions are answered. Did a PHENOMENAL carpal tunnel surgery for me. I’m back playing pickleball sooner than I expected. (Ps. I asked if he could make me a much better player surgically, but sadly, that is not part of the procedure. Oh well. )
