    A highly skilled doctor who will give you a state-of-the-art surgery. The best in his field and I will highly recommend him to others. I had pre-hab before surgery, a fantastic surgery for multiple things, and good follow-up after surgery. I'm doing so much better now and feel like a normal person again.
