“A doctor who wants to work with you. He tries to fully explain what is going on and what the various options are. You then discuss the goods and the bads of each option. He does NOT talk over you. I.e. using terminology that you wouldn’t understand. About 4 years ago, he performed a surgery for an enlarged prostrate. Everything went great. Recently returned for another urinary track issue which was quickly resolved. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone.” – Wally O.
