Very good. I had not worked with this provider before this summer, but then I was assigned to Dr. Reopelle when I got sick in early July and had to go to the hospital for 6 days. The doctor provided a clear summary of what I needed for treatment, and I am feeling much better now.
The doctor's bedside manner was excellent
He was awesome. I actually had fun.
Professional
Personable
Excellent care from start to finish.
The appointment was a follow up for a hernia repair. I think this Provider can be called gifted as a surgeon. If a surgery can be a pleasant experience, this one was. The complimentary team assisting with the procedure seem to respond and act accordingly to the desire of the provider to provide a skilled result.
