"I picked Dr. Patridge because she was a woman surgeon - she seemed a bit unfriendly at first, but she isn't - she's great. One word of caution - she is a BIG advocate of NO SMOKING!!! I quit before the surgery, which was required - but started afterwards again. This did not fare well with Dr. Partidge, and frankly, I can't blame her...rnrnDr. Partridge saved my life and I am completely grateful - now if I can only quit these butts, she will love me again... :)rn rn "
