Dr Provias's concern for my well-being brought about a surgery to correct a problem that may have gone uncorrected because of its potential of being a difficult procedure. Dr Verma who preformed the procedure was incredibly skilled, also very compassionate, did an outstanding job and corrected the problem. It's really improved my life.
