In patients' words
"I had no problems with my surgeon Dr. Chassion. However, his post ops are with the mid levels. How “professional” it was today to be laughed at by his PA... I won’t be returning to a clinic that laughs at their patients! It would be one star but I have nothing bad to say about my surgeon Dr. Chassion so I gave an extra star for him. It’s the after care that is not acceptable!"
