I thought my stitches were infected after lung surgery.He went above and beyond, to take care of me. Called me back himself,asked me what time was good for me. No doctor has ever done that before. I'm pretty sure, he opened the office up for me,because the lights were off,only one nurse was there.They were so nice to me.
