Patient Comments

"To say the least, Komotar and his staff have been the best experience I have ever encountered. They are at the top of their game in professionalism and courtesy. I could not have been recommended to go to a better hospital. Thanks again for your wisdom and professionalism on my issue, as Dr. Komotar is the best doctor I have ever experienced."

-Ronald Guillen, Patient


"You have been a rock and a beacon in our moment of greatest need, and have provided all of the care and support for which we could have hoped. We very much appreciate the time you took to help us . . . you provided responses to our questions and concerns, days, night and weekends. In our experience, it is rare to have a surgeon so unbelievably attentive and open."

-Arthur Lane, Patient's Spouse
