I saw Dr. Michael Horaist. He was excellent. He was extremely knowledgable, answered all my questions, gave me options. The procedure required a female nurse to be present, however I was really impressed with the doctor's and nurse's attention to my private after the procedure. Both the doctor and the nurse were excellent in this regard.
