Surgeon TestimonialJohn J. Feng, M.D.Dr. Feng is very patient and thorough. His nurse/office manager, Shellie, is delightful!
Dr. Feng thoroughly addressed the risks of surgery and I felt completely unhurried as we discussed all aspects and he answered all my questions.
He seems to respect my intelligence and the research I've done; I feel that he views me as the partner I am in this decision. He congratulated me for working so hard on getting all my pre-op work done, and for losing weight to get ready for surgery.
Both surgical competence and bedside manner are important to me, and I've got them both with Dr. Feng.
