    Jared was outstanding in how he explained my choices for procedure coming soon. I was extremely grateful for how easy Jared made it for me to understand so many aspects of the surgery.

    Outstanding. Projects confidence. Very efficient but at the same time does not make you feel rushed. Takes time before and after surgery to make sure your questions are answered.
