    Given the nature of the reason for the visit the experience was very good.

    Dr. Jablons in general was wonderful. Intelligent caring informative. I would recommend him to family members without concern. Being a very jocular man it was sometimes hard to tell when he was kidding me and when he was serious about things lines recovery timelines. I also would've liked to have a bit more clarification of the exact details of the surgery proposed. But those issues were minor compared to his overall excellence.
