Great staff!! Very friendly and accommodating. So excited for my surgery with Dr Alspaugh!
Dr. Alspaugh and his staff especially Nurse Patty were wonderfully attentive and comforting. I was so neevous about everything but in the end I'm happy I chose to stay locally vs going.out of the country. I was considering going to Toronto, but after being told to lose 25 lbs, even though I'm a size 7 I decided to look elsewhere. After a trusted recommendation I'm happy so far with my results, highly recommend them.
