He's concerned about a good recovery not just right after surgery but that everything stays healthy for a long time after surgery.

He has always given me great care. We discuss my issues and he offers me solutions and he's never failed me so when I had major back surgery 5 years ago I knew I was in great hands. I have a new issue which I saw him for and I know that I can trust him for my care.
