Dr Island and his staff did an excellent job on my visit. Everyone was very helpful and willing to address/answer any questions I had. Dr Island is a excellent Dr and did everything to make sure I understood what he was telling me and address every question I had. He talked to you on the level you can understand and makes you feel like you are his only focus. I could not have asked for a better Surgeon and was so luck to have gotten him. I would and do recommend him to anyone I know needing his services. He and his staff make you feel very comfortable and are there to help you thru and to understand everything about your condition and what will be need to correct it. On your scale I would have to rate Dr Island and staff a 10 star. Thanks to all.
