Surgery, pre care and post care was awesome.

All my questions were answered. The pre-surgery experience was comforting. Following the surgery there was no pain, no pain medication was needed.

listened attentively to my problems

took the time to listen and go over certain possibilities of the problems that could be causing the issues. Went over different scenerios and things we can try before we could consider surgery or other evasive procedures.
