I always tell people I know that if they need a surgery, let me know because I would send them to Dr. Terando. She is not only a fantastic surgeon who is kind and personable...she is also a wonderful person who has been the biggest blessing on my health journey. And her assistant Alex is the perfect compliment to her as a teammate. A great combo!

It can be a little nerve racking when going through various tests to determine an outcome. Dr. Terando and staff have been very helpful. Alex Spooner, PA has been great in scheduling various tests in a timely manner. Huntington Hospital is an exceptional hospital and I could not be in better care. Thank you
