In patients' words
"By the time I returned home, he had called and left a message that he’d passed on my complaint!! That’s being heard instead of placated. I highly recommend."
— WebMD Patient Review"This surgeon waited 18 hours to show up to consult about taking out my gallbladder, when left alone with me he proceeded to mock and ridicule me then guilt me for using the pain meds prescribed."
