After I got back my scans and it was...read more clear surgery wasn't necessary his mandatory checks have lasted no more than 3 minutes. Wouldn't listen to me and made me feel like I was waisting his time? I couldn't have a worse feeling about this man and feel like I should have listened to the other reviews. Awful man. Sincerely couldn't care less about me if he wasn't personally performing surgery from me. Please don't come anywhere where he works. ...read less
