I chose Dr. Mueller after reading what I told him were "Reviews typically expected from a proud mother". There was nothing "mechanical " about his interaction with me. (Except the robotic surgery) He explained everything thoroughly and was sensitive to my spouse's discomfort being in a hospital setting. A true gentleman and professional!
