Dr. Bass is probably the best doctor I've ever seen in my life. Super friendly, excellent bedside manner and very very knowledgeable. He doesn't want to just do a surgery for the sake of a surgery. He recommends other efforts before even thinking about surgery. Felt like talking to a good friend. Thanks Dr. Bass!
