He saved my life. I had a blood clot from injecting methamphetamine over a year ago. He saved me by coming down on Christmas Eve morning and performing emergency surgery. He then helped me get into rehab. He never judged me. He just helped me. Thank you Dr. Makey!!!!

If I only had 2 words to describe Dr. Makey it would be "awesome surgeon" and all around great physician. He has taken care of not only myself but most of my family. We love and trust Dr. Makey
