Oh, and all it was a wonderful experience. I know that's hard to say when someone's putting a knife to your face, but you guys do it and you do it well.

The doctor and fellow were of the highest quality explaining what they were doing as they worked. The doctor was proactive in requesting more detailed examines of my MRI as a lab follow-up and worked closely with the fellow. The fellow did my complex stitches and when I expressed interest in a deeper understanding of aspects of the procedure they explained things like the multiple layers of stitches and stitch types (dissolving or not). They went into nice details that made me feel informed. They even offered me a choice for the top stitches (dissolving or not), which gave me a feeling some control and that they cared about my input. Top scores for both the fellow's technical skills (the stitches are evenly spaced and symmetric) and their Emotional IQ, which was VERY high for a surgeon. My overall a very experience was overwhelmingly positive.

Dr. Yu and her Resident or Fellow (?) work well together. I told them what I saw after I massaged the tissue and they explained what had happened. I needed them to repeat the explanation because although it made sense, it's all completely new information to me.

Dr. Yu is outstanding. I literally drive an hour and a half to see her rather than use another surgeon.

Siegrid is knowledgeable but doesn't offer many explanations until specifically asked. She is not unkind or rude, but she is not warm or friendly.
