I had my gallbladder removed just before Christmas. The moment I met Dr. Helens, I was extremely comfortable about the situation. She explained in detail the procedure, risks, recovery...everything. The day of the surgery, Dr. Helms came out of the operating room to tell me they were running behind schedule!! Dr. Helms is extremely kind, patient, skilled and thoughtful. I had so much confidence in her abilities, I wasn't nervous at all. At the follow-up appointment, I told Dr. Helms that although I hope to never have another surgery, if I do, I hope It's a body part that she handles!
