He is terrible at surgery, high chance of keloids with him so beware. He doesn't know how to remove cysts at all. Him and his staff just take your money and dust their hands off. His staff is horrifying at customer service, they are rude and careless, cold women. I regret a million times going to them, it's one of my worst mistakes I've done my life! He made it worse for me, now I suffer everyday cause of him and he wont fix his terrible job, they expect you to go to another doctor to fix his errors and waste more money because they wont reimburse you in any way for their screw up.
