Aimee the nurse was very professional, sweet, informative and friendly. She made me feel comfortable. Dr. Hathaway is a gentle giant, friendly, professional, caring, a great listener and knowledgeable. He explained the surgery to me in letting me know what to expect before, during and after the surgery. He's really a kind and caring doctor. His PA was also in the room and she was extremely kind, professional and caring. The entire was friendly and I had a wonderful visit/experience.

Dr. Hathaway was thorough and thoughtful. I appreciated that he took the time to review my chart (which has gotten quite messy over the last year). He offered his opinion and advice as to how we should proceed which both my wife and I appreciated very much. We left the visit feeling better about the situation than before.
