    Dr Uluer's style of informing me of options and giving me the power to choose my course of action that fits my needs gives me the confidence that I will get the care I need.

    He was excellent to work with. He listened to my issues with compassion, and he was quick to offer information. He was also honest that he'd not treated a patient like me before, but was happy to reach out to others who have and to do research as needed to be sure I receive the best possible care. I trust him implicitly with this future surgery. As it turns out, he was also the surgeon who did my son's top surgery (gender affirmation surgery) recently, so I'd already met him previously. I just didn't know it was him that my GP referred me to for my own surgery. It was a pleasant surprise. I feel very comfortable with this surgeon.

    Amazing experience all around. I had an issue with an area, and not one time did they make me feel less than. I have to say that this was one of the best physicians, and medical staff I've ever delt with

    I have had quite a few surgeries, and this one was the best experience. The surgeon is calm, very nice, professional yet speaks so anyone could understand, attentive, thorough, and welcoming. He is a great surgeon, and so empathetic
