Dr. Willard was very thorough, congenial, and professional. He explained our process of going through the various steps until it was obvious that the next step is surgery. In addition to his explanation and his response to my questions, he provided me with printed materials explaining the upcoming procedure, its preliminary appointments, its consequences, and expectations. The Clinical Assistant made the necessary appointments and provided me with print-outs.
