The experience was excellent

The only issue was reaching someone by phone without being sent to voice mail for scheduling.

Yeah, overall, I only have, you know, good things to say about Dr. Arnold. Maybe just a little bit pushing me more to do that second surgery faster. And because it definitely was a learning experience. This was a one and a half year experience on this journey with my child, my son. And so, yeah, that second surgery really made all the difference in removing that Cyclops lesion. But yeah, I'm definitely glad that I chose Dr. Arnold to take care of my son and do the surgery and be his doctor. And have a great night.
