So very happy and thankful we chose Dr. Ahlborn to do my husband's surgery. He is extremely skilled and professional. We completely trust him 1000% with his expertise. It was so comforting to be completely at ease and not worry about the quality of care Dr. Ahlborn provided. I cannot recommend him enough. Kind, frank, and thorough bedside manner. We really couldn't ask for more from a surgeon.

I have to say that Dr. Ahlborn is one of the BEST surgeons ever!!!!! I had a lipoma removed by him with only a local anesthetic and I was petrified I would feel something !!! He and his staff made the whole surgery process so comfortable! He is so patient and caring!!! I would never choose any other surgeon!!!!!!!!!!!! HE IS THE BEST!

My husband had an in-office removal of a deep cyst on his back. Dr. Ahlborn numbed the area but didn't give the Lidocaine time to work before cutting. I asked him to stop and give time and perhaps more local, but he kept saying it would be over quickly. This man, talented in surgery or not, is an uncaring individual wanting to get the job done as quickly as possible, and to bad if the patient is in pain. Will never go to him again.

He took my gallbladder out and I could not have been happier. A very trusted doctor had told me "Go to Dr. Ahlborn, he never has any problems." I believed him and it was the easiest operation I could have ever imagined. He is very professional and treated me with respect. I would recommend him without hesitation.
