I saw the plastic surgeon this week. Dr Jao and Grace, his PA are just wonderful. So great at answering all of my questions and explaining in a way that I'm able to understand. Never lose patience with me or make me feel like I'm holding them up or bothering them. This entire team does an amazing job of putting me at ease and confident in the level of care that I receive.
