"My first impression of Dr. Halmi is that he is very professional and knowledgable. Everyone is right about him being easy to talk to and I felt very comfortable about expressing all of my concerns to him- I thought I'd have difficulty asking him about the risks and how many patients of his had actually not survived surgery. He was very understanding. Although, I'm sure he has to repeat himself several times daily...he never made me feel that my questions weren't important. That, to me, indicates that he will be treating me like an individual...not just somthing on an assembly line..(I feel like that every time I visit doctors)"
