Patient Reviews
Jan 12, 2024
First meeting him was absolutely phenomenal! He was extremely down to earth he looked so young when I saw him. He asked me how old do I look to you I said much younger and better in person he said that's what I love to hear LOL at that point I knew he was the doctor for me. The fact that he specializes and supports the lgbtqia+ community was another winning Factor. Schedule for surgery this Tuesday I can't lie I am nervous but I have faith in God and Dr G.
