Surgeon Testimonial

Michael Koeplin, M.D., F.A.C.S
Haven't met my surgeon yet, but was told he's a founder of the clinic, and one of the best they have. Was given his name at my first \"real\" clinic appointment Wed. 2-6-08.rnrnSo far I'm very impressed with the clinic - very friendly, huge emphasis on support systems and aftercare, willing to answer my questions.rnrnIf I had to choose between surgical competence and bedside manner ... well, both is of course preferred ... but I'd rather have an abrasive doc that is good at what s/he's doing than a nice but less than competent surgeon. I have other professionals who are paid to worry about my feelings; I want my surgeon to focus on keeping my guts in the right place.
