Explanation

I can't say enough about Mr Gibson. He is a lively, friendly, gentleman who explained my condition in layman's terms. He is very down to earth and is one of the very few surgeons I've met (and I've met more than my fair share) who didn't have a "god complex". Very impressed and looking forward to having him fix me!
