Most Surgeons are very to the moment, do what they must and get on with what they do. You're lucky if they even remember your name without looking at your chart, I am lucky, Dr Thalgott is my surgeon. He is warm, caring, compassionate and truly listens to everything. I hear many people complain about their experiences with other doctors they have chosen and all I can say is "Give my doctor a try". Picking a surgeon is complicated...you hand them your life with the hopes they will bring you back safely. He is busy and usually has a very busy schedule seeing pre-op and post-op patients, and with everyone he see's he remembers every detail about YOU! Thank You Dr. Thalgott and Tracey (P.A.) for helping me through a tough year!
