First Surgeon's Appointment
Good Afternoon, this process sure is a long one and patience is defiantly required but when you get the word to move to the next phase, its a great feeling and one step closer to the losers bench.
I got my call for my first surgeon's appointment for April 16th with Dr. Starr at Humber.
I've been reading mixed reviews about him. Would love to hear some feedback from anyone who might have dealt with him.
Thanks

Congratulations!! I don't know any of the surgeons at Humber... but I am an optimist. Why not assume it'll be awesome?! :)

My friend had Dr. Starr. She said he was great.
I haven't read the reviews but a lot of time bedside manner is typically the "thing" that sets people off.
I don't care about bedside manner. I care that they know their job and do it well.
I believe Dr. Starr is very good.
