“Dr. Yelenich-Huss took time to explain my diagnosis, treatment options, and next steps. She is personable, professional, and knowledgeable. I feel comfortable going forward with my treatments.”

“Over the past two weeks, whenever someone close to me asked how my surgery went, I always told the same truth. If any surgical experience can be called great, then this was it. From the moment I met Shelly at my consultation, I knew I was in good hands. The entire team, through the entire process, were warm, patient, professional, and that made me feel valued and at ease. Mostly, Dr. Kemp, I’m grateful to you. Deeply grateful for how generous you were with your time; for how seriously you took my concerns, as well as those of my family; for your kindness and strength. Yours was a level of care that I won’t forget. Thank you so much!”

“Dr. Kemp took the time necessary to explain the procedures – even drawing pictures, answered all questions.”

“Dr. Jenabzadeh provided me at all times with information and responses to all my questions and concerns. At all times I had great confidence in him and that he was providing the best care possible.”

“Dr. Chimukangara has a great bedside manner. He was open and frank about what to expect from the treatments we discussed.”

“I had a great experience. Dr. Stennes never made me feel rushed. He answered all my questions and did a great job explaining what was going to happen. He explained what to expect during recovery. He called to check in after surgery to see how I was doing. I would definitely recommend him.”
