I feel fortunate to have his expertise. He is also such a warm, kindly doctor.

Reviewed Jun 14, 2022 ago

His ample experience makes him impatient to consider and answer patients' questions. When asked to elaborate, he appears annoyed as if any question posed is a direct challenge to his skill and reputation, without recognizing a patient's real need for clarity and detail. It may be trivial for him to have to explain the basics of the procedure and recovery period, but is important for healthcare providers to maintain a respectful and caring attitude regardless of how good they are with a scalpel.
