He stayed and explained, drew pictures to help me understand, and explained how the surgery will be performed. He gave me a surgery date in the room. He is a wonderful doctor with a fantastic bedside manner

I have an extensive unusual complex problem apparently 3 drs at least are going to be involved they explained everything we've broken it down to risks and benefits and optimizing health each procedure is going to determine at what stage is it enough they've been very clear . I like this team so far
