    Doctor Kayatta is a superstar. He was familiar with my extensive medical history, was excellent in explaining the treatment options and showed real concern for my situation. Could not ask for a more professional and attentive surgeon. Have no issues trusting both his judgement and that he will do his best to protect my health.
