This is {name removed}. The minute I walked in, I was treated with respect and went overboard to help me. The nurse was great, very patient, asked very good questions, made me feel at ease. And then the doctor was amazing. He asked questions in a perspective that I could answer and explain. Very professional, made me feel at ease, did a great job of assuring me that everything was okay and prepped I was ready for surgery. So highly recommend. Really love the people.
