I traveled a good distance to see this doctor and hoped for a bit more time. I left feeling like I didn't get a chance to discuss my symptoms in their entirety. I appreciate that he read the information sent by a specialist, but other symptoms were not asked about, leaving me feeling that his opinion is that my health problems are all in my head. He was incredibly kind and I'm willing to continue with him as needed for this reason and his excellent reviews. |

The doctor was very informative while ensuring I understood certain risks involved.. With that being said, he stated he wouldn't push the risk but would get as much of my tumor out trying not to damage facial, optic, or other nerves which may be engulfed by said tumor. |
