Surgeon Testimonial

Steven Slikkers, M.D.
wow great guy I have great faith in him, he is so very nice. treated me with respect and gave me dignity that I rarely encounter with medical professionals, I was actually very impressed with the whole medical team at munsen medical centre. I am still waiting for tests and a surgury date but he was able to answer all my questions and he put me completly at ease.he was wonderful and came to see me right before surgury right after surgury and later that day , he was so awesome so gentle and so kind and reachable.when my pain meds where making me nauseated he was around to change them right away. he took my drain out himself to save me a five hour drive for just a drain removal. over all he is my new hero I could not have been in better hands I would recommend him and his whole clinic and team to anyone anywhere.Hands down the best surgeon/person I have met in the medical field.
