"I couldn't ask for a better surgeon than Dr. Esmailian. His bedside manner is impeccable. He's very unassuming, listens to your concerns, and with his vast knowledge answers every question you have.

The surgery went better than expected and within a few weeks I was back to normal. I never thought I would be healed so quickly. The job was perfect. I couldn't ask for more."
