I'd just like to compliment Dr. Bonness because he listens to you about what your upcoming surgery is going to be, get your date set so you know what's going on and you don't have to be in a quandary trying to figure everything out. You know when, where and why and I appreciate that very much.

I guess I was just a little disappointed that I was told I was going to see Dr. Bonness and I saw his PA instead, which I could have seen in Council Bluffs and I drove clear out to Oak View to see him because he didn't have an available appointment in Council Bluffs until the middle of December. So that's my only disappointment, I guess. Thank you. Bye.
