Not pleased with Core in general. She is about as personable as a rattlesnake as are the other surgeons at Core that I have dealt with.

Very upfront. I like that. I’m also very happy with the patella repair. I hope I can take better care of it. She’s done her best my old bones.

Im in Love. Patricia is a phenomenal surgeon. I would definitely want her to be the one who saws off any of my other limbs. I would recommend her to all my friends who need an amputation.. Unfortunately I will not see her again which is a good thing.
