Excellent costumer service
Showed up with paperwork pre-filled out, 5 min early to my appointment that I made about a month prior and waited over 20 minutes to see the doctor. I think the doctor was fairly communicative about my diagnosis but I think time tables need to be managed better at his practice.

I had a terrible experience with this doctor. The surgery he performed created a bigger problem than I had before and I have to now redo it but obviously it is much more complicated now.
