    Dr Pickron was very good, talked me through everything he was doing and seeing. So I felt very much included in what was being done. The pain from the procedure has been noticeably less than when I had previously had this procedure done.

    Poor bedside manner, very short and does not thoroughly evaluate. I do not recommend this Doc

    He is the best. If it wasn't for him and his care I wouldn't be here. He is always positive and caring.

    I don't understand what the procedure they did to me is called. They didn't teach me anything about what they took from my body. I don't know what they did. I don't understand why they don't give me medication. [TRANSLATED]
