I feel like he was to busy today and I do understand. When he has the time he's wonderful. ( maybe hiring more staff)

Dr King was the third surgeon I interviewed and pretty quickly I knew I had found a match. She is knowledgeable, knows how to communicate, and is respectful of her patient’s choices and ability to participate in their health care decisions. The office is run extremely well, and Flora, Dr King’s nurse, is so responsive and on top of things. I feel like I am very good hands in this office.
