Surgeon Testimonial

David R. Geller M.D.
He was very nice and nice smile and he made you feel safe. His staff is really helpfull. The least thing I would like to see him after surgery. I seen him before the surgery and he said i will see you in 6 weeks. would like to seen him before leaving hospital. other patients should know he does a great job and called his office on a sunday with a red wound and dr. geller called back. great responds. Nursing gave good strcturtion on care after home. If i had it to do over i would still use him. except one thing i would had as for stiches instead of glued wounds. going to have scares. they opened. but all in all he was a great dr. i would highly remend.....
