I had an emergency appendectomy. Dr. Macaroon came to the hospital and immediately diagnosed the problem and operated on me within a couple of hours. The surgery was quick and uneventful. The follow up appointment was handled very efficiently.

I have seen Dr Macaron multiple times for Diverticulitis related problems. He is gentle and caring person. He called me in person from the waiting room. He put me at ease before we started. He was well educated and informative of the disease process. The best part too is that he is loved by everybody at the Hospital. The surgery went great and I was home in 3 daysHe is by far the best surgeon and physician I have ever met
