Stellar Surgeon and staff all around. Dr Mellinger came in to see me before my surgery. He listener intently to my wanting a regional anesthesia not a general. He didn’t blink and pleasantly abided by my request. Was awake during the procedure- felt no pain. Don’t want or like surgeries (who does?). With that said, being awake during was a fascinating and insightful adventure. Cannot praise the whole staff - WHOLE STAFF - enough. First rate!!!
