"He treats me with respect and considers what I say about what is going on with my body... Literally he has rescued me from death on more than one occasion."
— Healthgrades (Patient review for Dr. Herbert Mayer)"Dr. Kay was great with my son who has special needs. She was friendly and listened carefully to us. We understood everything she said and didn't rush the appointment."
— Healthgrades (Patient review for Dr. Danielle Kay)"During surgery Dr Hicks removed 4 inches of my ureter in error, which eventually led to a permanent ileostomy and substantial kidney damage. Hicks offered no apology."
