I have had quite a bit of experience with him and I believe that you can trust him with whatever it is that you need to have done. Best of luck.

Be mindful that the radiation treatment with Villages Insurance will cost you 20% copayment which could be in the hundreds of dollars. They do not tell you this when they push this as an alternative.

Also a good idea to get a second opinion on these surgeries. I went to a different doctor when I was out of Town and the second doctor said I did not need the surgery. He treated it with liquid Nitrogen and today it is fine. There is entirely too much cutting here in The Villages IMO.,
