Wonderful surgeon who took the time to listen to and address our concerns, and ultimately we felt more comfortable knowing he would be handling the surgery himself since he’d heard our concerns so completely.

Did an okay job but I don’t like the fact he left the room and discussed everything with another person. He also didn’t go into full details with me about what all he’s changing and keeping the same.
