This doctor has all the qualities you would hope to find in the specialty surgeon he is - he makes the patient feel respected, at ease due to his mild friendly manner and is completely informative! After he explains the expected treatment and covers all the steps to expect you have no need for additional questions - this was an initial consultation for me and he appeared thoroughly prepared after he had previewed my history and that made me feel much at ease since he was well prepared to discuss my case. If you are in need of his services do not hesitate to go his way and you will find it very worthwhile.

Dr. is a very compassionate and knowledgeable man. Years ago in 2014 he saved my life doing a surgery that other Dr.s refused to do. The only Dr. I completely trust his opinion.
