Dr. Tinklepaugh explained in detail the surgery he was about to conduct; also drew a sketch for me that was helpful. During the wait for lab results, I used the room wifi link to Lexus/Pandora and listened to relaxing music of my choice. It was comforting to have the music. Before leaving, the doctor reviewed post surgery care and I was given a printout of his instructions to follow at home. Many thanks for the care shown to me.
