Nov 17, 2020
Excellent care by Doctor Sun, Mary, and his entire staff. I can’t say enough about the quick resolution of a spinal cord tumor. From discovery to surgery, it was a matter of days in the midst of this COVID nightmare. They even handled last minute insurances issues (On a weekend!!!] to keep things on track. Less than three months later and it’s like it never happened. On a scale of 1 to 5, He’s a definite 10.
