He is very honest about what needs to be done to fix whatever is wrong and very caring about your well being before and after surgery, your recovery, and rehab. I trust him to do whatever is right for my problem. I also like the way he takes his time and explains every detail of what happens during the surgery, after the surgery, the medication he is giving you, and what to expect after you get home, and what will happen in rehab. I appreciate knowing exactly what to expect, without the sugar coating that some doctors give you.
