He and his staff clearly work closely and colaboratively to achieve best results. Uncommon to find a human personality that cares about patients inspite of standard surgeon ego; this guy is easy to get along with.

He's a hack. Dangerous, insanely egotistical & over-educated incompetent. His staff is terrified of him Real god-complex. Run don't walk from Dr. Moreau. Trust me: he'll gut you like a fish.
