I really appreciated how thoroughly the doctor explained what was going on and clarified misinformation that was previously provided by an outside doctor.

Yes, I would like comment about doctor because the doctor was very not pushy. He explained every detail what going on and did not push us into surgery, told us if not comfortable with surgery he gave us an extra month to try to figure out to make sure that we were actually seeing what we were seeing. I appreciate his patience and not forcing us into surgery.

The surgery doctor is great. He talks to you like a normal person explains everything asks if you have any questions. He also treats his clients with respect and genuinely cares.
