Learn MoreIt really is a great group of talented and kind providers. My care there was excellent.
From check in to having a nurse bring me into the initial wait room( and explain what to expect ) to a check in with the doctor and then with the anesthesiologist things went smoothly. I was comfortable throughout. After my procedure, the doctor checked in with me to let me know how things went. The nurse did not rush me out - made sure that I was fully recovered from the anesthesia . The whole thing , for me , was about an hour and a half. Before I left, I was given written information regarding what to expect during recovery. A doctor is available round the clock for any questions.
Everyone involved with my procedure was great. A class act from start to finish!!!
