Learn MoreA welll oiled machine. Staff made me feel very secure and comfortable.
The doctors and care team would get 5 starts from top to bottom. They were kind and helpful. My three star review is because I just received a $400 bill for anesthesia because it was considered out of network. My spouse had the same procedure by the same practice and everything was covered completely. Just be aware that you may get a surprise bill.
Dr Sommer and her team are A+++ in every regard. They got me in and out of my procedure early— no waiting at all. The admitting nurse Alex and anesthetist Michael were extremely kind, efficient, and communicative, as was Dr Summer herself. I woke up as if nothing had happened. Dr Sommer thoroughly explained her findings to me and my husband and made clear recommendations. I felt entirely normal by that afternoon.
