Good, kind Doctor

He was very courteous and listened to what I had to say, he told me exactly what was going on. He also told me before he did the surgery. How long he had been doing the same surgeries? And that put me at ease, I barely have any scars. He did an excellent job, very good bedside manner. I would definitely recommend him to anybody that I knew needed this same surgical procedure done
