"He is personable, young yet knowledgable,
thorough..and does what he says he will.
I knew his surgical skills were superb as I had spoken with the R.N. Surgical Supervisor at the O.R. where he operated. He also performed the surgery on a Nurse Practioner I know. He just got rave reviews from these two (which alone was enough for me) as well as Superb comments from other Dr.'s I know.
My impression hasn't changed. I have actually only met him and had my abdominal physical, EKG, CXR all on the day of my consultation.
His office staff is excellent. They are all about helping you. They are busy, but; they have done all I have asked for ...on a timely basis.
I don't know him well enough to have a least favorite thing about him. He was kind, courteous, informative, knowledgable and willing to address any and all questions I had and may have in the future.
He does emphasize this is a lifelong comittment. He lets you know the follow up schedule and lets you know what he expects from you.
He basically let me tell him what I know about the surgery and then explained exactly what he would be doing, the possibilities of complications and the risks associated with this surgery. He let me know he would do his best and I would be watched and checked after surgery and prior to discharge. He is not misleading in any aspect.
Scale of 1-10. He's a 9. I reserve the right to add or subtract after my surgery.
I know from reviews this man knows what he is doing. He is also very pleasant. He is not as talkative as I am..(don't know anyone who is). Surgical competence and bedside manner are equally important. As I said I have only had consultation with him one time, I do reserve the right to inform any and everyone of any changes in my opinion.
