He was familiar with my diagnosis and jumped right on the procedure to correct it. Played psychologist with me by telling me it is an extremely painful procedure ( which I was expecting). But he did a great job minimizing the pain and discomort completely exceeding my expectations of much worse. Great guy too.

External Professional Relationships

Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care.
