In 1987 Dr. Petro removed a malignant tumor from my colon. The tumor was so large that he had to respect my colon. He has done multiple surgeries on me since then. He is an outstanding physician whose competence is beyond reproach. Had he not performed surgery on me in 1987, there’s a great possibility that I would not be alive, loving life, and writing this review. I love Dr. Petro. Sincerely, Jim Walters.

Most outstanding surgeon I have ever had, not to criticize the others I have had. He explains everything so you understand what the surgery involves, and also personally takes the time to call you day or 2 at most to check on you. He personally calls you back to explain any tests he orders so you don't have to sit there and worry until you can see him again.

I found Dr. Petro to be compassionate, professional, thorough, and exceedingly knowledgable. His skill as a surgeon is inimitable. Dr. Petro's care following my surgery is unsurpassable and exceeds any previous medical experiences.
