Prepared, organized, direct, on topic. Put me at ease. Welcomed additional questions and gave the names of other surgeons I might contact if interested in cosmetic surgery. Was very polite and even took time to ask if I knew the way out. He sent in a resident prior to his visit, and she was well prepared, excellent in questioning. Asked if I had seen my scan and offered to share it with me. I was very grateful for her thorough explanation. Felt comfortable asking her questions and sharing my concerns. Appeared to me that she and Dr Mueller work very well together. This type of teamwork is very encouraging.

Dr. Mueller was very personable and professional. Before the procedure, he explained exactly what was to be done. The surgery went well & there were no complications.
