This Doctor is the best of the best, I was never worried about any aspect of the operation because she takes the time to explain each and every little detail to you. She made me feel at ease and the follow-up was just as professional. You can tell she really cares for the well-being of her patients. If I had another complication that needed surgery I would pick her as my surgeon in a heartbeat, I recommend Dr.Turner very highly to anybody who needs surgery.

She is smart, attentive, and knows what she is talking about. She explained everything, and I felt very comfortable going into a big operation.
