The time he spent with us and his ability to explain in terms that I could understand my issue of hyper parathyroidism. He was very thorough in going through my complete medical records. I was referred by an ENT who said my case was complex. He highly recommended Dr Sturgeon. After I walked out, I felt completely comfortable with the decision to follow the ENT's recommendation.
