Dr. Peche seems a little distracted. He seems like a good guy but I am losing confidence in his skills, but then he is a surgeon.

Hes good at answering my questions, letting me understand the large medical words he uses. He is also good at giving me advice about the problems I encounted afterwards.

Very knowledgable and showed genuine concern and empathy for my situation

Dr. Peche came across honest and experienced. He didn't hold back information and was very straightforward about surgical options for me.

Care provider didn't speak much about follow up. He left that to others.

We were so glad we chose to come to the University Hospital. If the necessity arises we would come back to this hospital and recommend it to everyone in Ely.
