I am not much of a go-and-see-the-doctor kind of guy. This visit was very pleasant. Nice waiting room, as waiting rooms go, friendly and professional staff. The Doctor was knowledgeable, friendly and understood my issue completely. I appreciated his conservative approach and have complete confidence in what he recommends.

I really like this Doctor & his staff is so helpful & nice! The only drawback was I only got to meet him for our initial consult & then for 5 mins coming out of surgery. All follow up visits are done through his associate. I would've appreciated him doing at least the first follow up visit with me.
