Dr. Makela is the epitome of what a doctor should be. From the first time I saw him and expressed my health concerns. He gave me all my options and suggested what he thought was best and said he would not suggest something that he wouldn’t suggest to one of his loved ones. He did all the testing he could do to make sure leading up to my surgery everything was good. Surgery day went smoothly no issues or complications. His professionalism and knowledge eased my fear going into surgery and I am happy to say things are going well with my recovery and hope that continues.
