What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
Highly confident in the doctor, staff, and medical team. Dr. Fenton exudes confidence, not arrogance, in his medical knowledge, professionalism, gentle but firm bedside manner, and explanations of findings, procedures, necessary medications, and what to expect, if surgery is necessary, in layman's terms for the patient. Highly recommend Dr. Fenton. Excellent surgeon.
