"He's a very nice and thorough Surgeon. His staff is pleasent when you're there. Returning phone calls is a little slow, but not if it's an emergency. He's very straight forward regarding surgical risks. Aftercare is fine, can always make an appt. to see dietician, and a large, well explained manual is great for reference after surgery. He has a support group at the hospital, but I live too far away to take part in it. Overall, I'd rate him high. I feel his surgical competence is superior."
