DR PRUDEN GAVE ME A MOSE SURGERY. HE CUT ME FROM THE CORNER OF MY EYE TO THE CORNER OF MY MOUTH WITHOUT TELLING ME BEFORE THE SURGERY. HE BUTCHERD MY FACE AND LEFT ME PERMANENTLY SCARED FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE ! HE ACTED LIKE IT WAS JUST ANOTHER DAY AT THE OFFICE. HE IS COLD AS ICE ! NO ONE SHOULD LEFT LOOKING LIKE THEY WERE IN A HEAD ON COLLISION . HE SHOULDN'T BE PRACTICING IF YOU WERE TO ASK ME.

Dr. Pruden and his surgical nurse were both very professional during my two visits to the VA, where he performed my surgery. He was also very receptive to questions. I felt very comfortable both visits; pre-op, during surgery, and post-op. I plan to see him again for another procedure in the near future.
