Dr. Player was thorough and professional. I was afraid that I might get very bad news. His care helped me be confident in his diagnosis. His office staff made the whole experience as comfortable as possible.

My surgery went very well. No complications and I am satisfied with my post-op care as well.

Unable to recognize cancerous masses inside the human body. A 30 min surgery took over 2 hours as he shoved the cancer aside to 'correct' a 20+ yr old hernia that was not problematic. He also never reported any issues to primary care doctor. His ignorance resulted in the untimely death of his patient.
