    Dr. Mcrae did an excellent job on removing my cyst. He was very calm and explained everything thats happening on my surgery. I was nervous but with him explaining everything I felt really secured that everything will be alright. And even for after care he was explaining it to me making sure that I understand everything. Thank you Dr. Mcrae!
