"First, I must state my feelings, as the Doctor was extremely considerate, patient, understanding and empathetic. Just like a family member, in his concern and clear comments. Now, his skill is at the top of the practitioners, and much appreciated by me, as I was a bit nervous. I must also include the entire group of nurses, anesthesiologist. And I owe them a great gratitude and would sincerely recommend for the best care I have had. And I have in the past had a few very bad experiences, which makes me appreciate even more top of the line care. Thank you all. Norman Girard, C.P.A."

He spent well over an hour explaining all the particulars of cirrhosis, what my scores on various tests meant, and my risks for various treatments, not just liver, but other operations as well. I have had cirrhosis for 7 years and no doctor has ever taken the the to explain all this in depth to me. Also, he is friendly, has a great sense of humor and even conversed with my boyfriend who seemed more interested in giving him good routes on the highway.
