My surgeon Dr. Mann is excellent. He shows empathy when he talks to me and seemed to take care of me in the least invasive way possible. My only constructive feedback is that I was not prepared for the post surgical nerve pain I have been experiencing. The Dr. Did warn me about post surgical pain but I assumed it was just because of the incisions. He also told me that I would have inflamatory pain. I just didn't really understand what this would be. I would have liked to be better prepared for the nerve pain that Is felt around the rib cage and Is slow to resolve.

Would have preferred a more formal list of "next steps". Who was to do what, by when. The details in MyChart, the AVS and/or the Visit Notes are not clear as to what happens next

Dr. Mann was extremely helpful in explaining the plan. Had hoped for a more definite time as to the date for the surgery that I'm to have.

I am so impressed with my experience discussing the issues of my health with Dr Mann and his team! Dr Mann is an excellent communicator! His thoughts are very organized, descriptive and clear. He also listened very closely and showed genuine empathy. Same for the other 2 people on the call.
