    Loved Dr Wooten! She is kind and compassionate and took the time to answer my questions. She told me what to expect and was gentle in removing the drain tube. She showed me my CT scan and explained what needs to happen with the lesion on my kidney. She took her time with me. I never felt rushed to get out.

    I have been to Dr Wooten several times and this will be my fourth surgery with her. She is an amazing physician and human being. She is extremely skilled at what she does. The scars I have are so incredibly faded and other doctors have commented about how great her work is when they have seen how invisible my scars are.
