He is a kindly, attentive, caring doctor, whom I have and would highly recommend. This is my 4th surgery by a SCOI physician/surgeon. I feel that my medical issues are being addressed and rectified by the finest and most knowledgeable in the business. I also appreciate having written information available on each of the physicians. Ensures Ive made the best decision for "me" and my health! Thanks for all that you do!!! –
