"He is very friendly and caring. I'll let you know what I think after surgery! I would definatley recommend the office to anyone interested. They have been wonderful! They are very supportive and answer all my 1000s of questions without being outwardly annoyed. The thing I like least is that I am having surgey in 5 days and feel I should have another appointment with him, but they didn't schedule one. He has given me an aftercare routine and diet. He was thorough in discussing the risks and benefits and did not push one way or another. As of right now, I rate him an 8 (out of 10), but may change my mind after surgery! :) I feel that being surgically competnent is exteremly important - I don't want any moron chopping me open, but bedside manner - explaining things to me and my family - is almost as important."
