Yes, he was a very good doctor, but we are still waiting on the results to see if they can give him surgery, yes or no, and we've not heard back yet.

Me and my family were very satisfied with the attention that the doctor paid and the nurse's everyone we met down there that day was very nice, and we were very pleased with what we got while we were down there. We got all the information we think we need but you never know. So, thank you very much.
