Glad that Dr. Stephen took the time to chat with me before and after the surgery. The fact that he spent the time to discuss topics that were not directly related to the surgery made for a very comforting patient / doctor relationship. At no time did I feel that he was "under the gun" to be somewhere else - that I was the most important person / issue during our discussion.
