I didn't get to meet him for much time but Dr. Hovey was fast, very fast at getting to surgery from his home and his staff was incredibly supportive. he came talked to me for moments then prep. I felt safe at all times when I was under so much mental stress, I would recommend him and his team to anyone

Everything went awesome from the first visit in the office, the surgery itself, the hospital stay, and seeing him back in the office. I'd give him 10 stars if I could!

Dr. Hovey took time to explain everything in detail to myself and my spouse, he was kind and appeared to really care. Initially I was anxious about having surgery, after meeting my surgeon(Dr. Hovey) I was relieved and felt much more comfortable. I would highly recommend Dr. Hovey!!
