March 2022

Great experience

Great surgeon. Lousy bedside manner. No personality what so ever. Was very uncomfortable and felt rushed.

February 2022

Safe and comfortable

The doctor was nice and spoke the truth ,he told me what I needed to know !! Like or not he told me my liver is in very bad shape. Never thought I would hurt this bad and long, with no hope in the immediate future. Pray to God is my only hope!! I would like to see my grandbabies again. David
