Pre and post surgery visits with this doctor and his staff have been exceptional. He updates my medical information and advises me about my condition at each visit. His staff is knowledgeable and are able to answer my questions regarding my condition. When visiting his office, it is obvious the room and items used are clean. The room is wiped before and after use. He took exceptional care of me, visiting me before and after my thyroid was removed. The ICU staff at the hospital were exceptional in providing care and information about  my post surgery care.
