Dr Muesse explained thoroughly my test results and the options for care. He answered all of my questions in a kind and courteous way. I did not feel rushed during the visit and left with a clear understanding of the treatment plan. Dr Muesse is a kind and compassionate physician and I would highly recommend his care.

The only problem I had in regards to the doctor that was assigned to my circumstance & surgery I need to have, he hasn't done many of them in some time. I want a surgeon that does this type of surgery on a daily basis. I was very disappointed.
