Everyone was very helpful and nice to us. Great experience
Dr. Andrassy made me feel secure in the surgery and well cared for.
Met my expectations. Gave me a plan of treatment & care.
The entire experience was amazing. I had a [...] clock appointment when I got to the building. I was 10 minutes, early registered, I didn't even have to sit in the lobby and I was called back immediately for my vitals and when I saw a resident within 5 minutes of being in the room and Dr. Andrassy followed within a minute or two, we had a wonderful visit. He answered all of my questions. He was very thorough. We scheduled surgery for the next week and everything went very smoothly. His scheduling assistant [...] followed up with me immediately after the visit and gave me all the information.
I love Dr. Andrassy! He's the best. Inspires my confidence and I'll be having my surgery with him??
