I have only met with him once but he was very personable, easy to talk to, and answered all of my questions. I feel I will be in very capable hands for my upcoming surgery.

he spent a lot of time with me talking about the places and minuses of my surgery. Also, he knew he was my third opinion on how the surgery should be performed, and he was very open to that one of the surgeons I talked to was very closed off what I told him I wanted to get a second opinion.

Dr. Chris Mehta and nurse Antonietta arranged to keep my appointment on the same day despite some unforseen complications during their workday. They were both very knowledgeable and patient with my questions, which I'm sure they've answered thousands of times for others as well. I appreciate that.
