I had a bulging disk issue in my neck. It was very concerning for me and I had many questions. The doctor did an excellent job of answering all my questions.

This doctor is brilliant (I'm sure) & very professional, efficient, quick. He will spend as much time as one needs but I always had the feeling he was into the next of rather quickly, maybe me wanting more "warm" but it choose him over a million surgeons for a surgery, well done!
