Once Dr. Roberts came in the room it was 12-15 minute process. Quick, efficient, and very informative which I liked. Told me everything I needed to know and still asked if I needed more info or further clarification.

I had an emergency procedure to have a large kidney stone removed at Sharp. Dr Roberts was very professional and respectful, and explained the procedure well. After reading his bio post- surgery, I realized I was quite lucky to have him as my surgeon. Thank you.
