Good doctor, but a 5 minute procedure took 1 and a half hours to do. Just seemed long.

I wish there was less waiting time for the tests and seeing the doctor. I was there for several hours. There were long waiting periods between appointments.

Professional with understanding

The entire team was awesome, caring, highly knowledgeable, skilled and sincere. It’s great that they are so busy, but I have to worry that the case load and limited time allocated to each patient is creating stress that may eventually impact the great care they provide.

Great doctor. An asset to SSM Health.

He is a very caring person. He is respectful and treats you as if you were family. He listens to and answers all questions in a way that a non dr. can understand. He understands the situation you are going through and ensures that you understand what is going on with your care and what you need to do to get better
