Dr. Arndt has been wonderful in being my surgeon. My surgery was a great success because of him and his team, and my follow up appointments have been great. Dr. Arndt is a caring doctor, and I appreciated that he wanted to make sure I was doing well in my recovery. He has a very good personality and so has a very good bedside manner. He makes sure he communicates all information clearly and that all is understood.
