    Good surgeon terrible bedside manner. Does not look at mammo results with you- just leaves paper for you to look at by yourself so if you have questions he is already gone. Does not talk about patient talks about himself

    Because he is very concerned about my health,he is compassionate,and he knows what he is doing,knowledgeable.I have a lot of confidence in him and this whole survey as I said in the beginning was only for Dr Karpoff and Dr.Perry. Reson I say this is because other doctors I've seen I did not like.
