I was brought in back my weight was taken. Then I was placed in a room for 3 hours. No nurse nor doctor ever came in. I finally got up and left. Found the head nurse reported the staff. She guaranteed the dr would do a video call in the afternoon which he never did. I would not recommend this staff for a dog period

I like how Dr. Palys talks to me in ways that I understand. Dr. Palys is a very understanding doctor and he definitely cares about his patients well after the surgery is over and you're released from his care. He actually will call a year later just to make sure that you are still doing well. I highly recommend Dr. Palys to anyone who needs a neurosurgeon! Thank You Dr. Palys for what you have done for me.
