Dr. Said is excellent.

Dr. Said is awesome, which is why I made an appointment to have him consult with us on my current medical situation. He explains the situation and options carefully, clearly, and confidently in way that is easily understood; if he thinks you don't have a clear understanding or to further explains details he uses analogies, drawings, and/or pictures (without making you feel ignorant or embarrassed) to provide further clarity; and he makes sure you understand the recovery time for each option he provides. Dr. Said is a craftsman and/or an elite artist in his profession (he has performed surgery on me previously), but has a unique way of reaching his patients so that we each feel important. Not only is he an amazing surgeon he is also a great educator/teacher.

The assistant and intern were great. *Dr. Said was clear about possible risks but seemed to misinterpret my questions as doubts, did not feel truly heard or fully answered. Sort of felt dodged and pushed to accept all he said and not, really ask the questions I wanted to ask... to make a choice about surgery. He was not understanding of my sensitivity to having a male intern in the room during the [...] exam. Being alone in a robe with 2 men looking at my [...], should be understood if I'm uncomfortable. He was not understanding.
