Dr. King has a great bedside manner. He takes time with the patient and explains everything in detail allowing the patient to make a well-informed decision. I had thyroid surgery with Dr. King, and everything went very smoothly. As a matter of fact, I needed no pain medications following and was sent home the same day. My husband also had a minor surgery later in the year for an anal fissure, which he diagnosed accurately and surgically repaired with no problems following. I highly recommend Dr. King for general surgery.
