This was the most amazing surgeon I have ever met... and sadly I have met many... He treats you like a human being....I find myself in Ks missing and needing his expertise, we are overbooked here and in need of good health care people... you are lucky if you can see this man!!! Heis work on my knee is exceptional its a fresh new car wreck that has upset elbow, and irritated knee among other things... My gut tells me to find a way to see him even 12 hours away... thats how good and how much I came to respect this man... I have no idea on his new place or staff, I hope they compliment his nature...
