He was very good at explaining what was going to be done in my surgery. He gave the information in a comfortable way and also answered all of my questions before I actually asked them meaning he explained in plain English everything! He was great!

I really appreciated the time Dr. Bradley took to explain my hernia and explore options. He did not rush at all and asked multiple times do you have any questions?. It made me feel like he cared about me and wanted me to understand my condition.

The resident was exemplary. The doctor was professional, took time to digest my input, and made me quite comfortable with the idea of him rummaging about in my innards.
