Dr. Wade is the best. He always exhibits a high level of professionalism and courtesy in all of my visits. He is extremely courteous and provides a concise and clear explanation of my condition and answers my questions in a manner that is clearly understood. It should be mentioned that his staff, Jennifer and Helen, always take their time before and after appointments to ensure there are no further questions and go over next steps regarding my health. They are awesome.

Dr Wade was patient and thorough and incredibly informative—explaining things while drawing diagrams to illustrate this complex surgical procedure. He went through the details of our case including possible complications and steps taken to be prepared for those possibilities, as well as intervention should they occur. He listened to our concerns and appreciated our uncertainties. He was respectful and compassionate. We had previously met with Dr. [ ] and felt the same after our consult with him. Together they are a team of highly knowledgeable and skilled surgeons.

In the appointment before surgery Dr. Wade took the time to thoroughly explain the procedure and what to expect after surgery. This was very reassuring and put me at ease. Both surgeries went as well as I could have hoped - no complications and a quick recovery.
