Thorough, in-depth explanations without needless fluff or wasting time. I got everything I needed from my appointment and still had time to get Pancake Pantry before the line got long.

I drove nearly six hours to see this specific doctor after doing weeks of research online. He was very knowledgeable and thorough regarding my illness and treatment options. He also went through possible risks. This is definitely the surgery and the surgeon for me.

Visit felt a little rushed. I was expecting a more comprehensive exam, but I'm hoping there will be more opportunities to discuss the surgical plan prior to my procedure

Spent less than five minutes with me. Drove three hours for this. Asked zero questions. Was ready to just give me surgery and didn't even explain the surgery. Just said it would last 15 minutes. Awful
