Feb 18, 2019
Fantastic physician in every way. Knows his stuff!! Takes time to explain his reasoning for what he intends to do and why....u must be ready to hav any questions ready on pre op visit that u may hav tho because he’s ready to go and seal the deal as he doesn’t always assume that there is anything further to discuss. He’s a very busy man but the best in his field!
