Just an excellent physician/surgeon. He did a surgery on me about 16 years ago and my care at his hands could not have been better.

The two above ratings sound like the same person. Be that as it may, this man is probably the best colo-rectal surgeon in the whole area. No, he is not a young red hot, but neither is he a military reject. Lots of years in the reserves, and a tour during Desert Storm. His care has always been top notch. I have had a couple of surgeries he did that other docs refused to do, with excellent results. Excellent pre-op and post-op follow up. He is patient, answering any and all questions. I suggested him to an acquaintce who had been told her colostomy was a forever project. Never could be taken down. 6 weeks later she was home, minus her colostomy and in excellet condition. He may be taking well earned lomg weekends, etc, but as long as he can hold a scalpel I would go to him. There will be few who follow in his footsteps who can hold a candle to his expertise. And, Bob, if you have already retired, the loss is ours.
