Patient Reviews
Jan 04, 2020
Pretty amazing. Of course while ill and/or in recovery I'd rather have bought it in theater (as they say for operating table). I'd didn't relate this to him unless, along with surgical skills the Doctor is telepathic as well. But seriously, one should really appreciate how ready, careful, available and attention to detail and nonjudgmental a person to have working on people (in a sick, weakened, obstreperous and pessimistic state). Always pleasant, and never (AFAIK) backs off of conditions that on first glance may seem untenable. Also, he brought in supportive staff as needed. Thanks HC, Nathan
