      This surgery Is a challenging thing to recover from because it is mostly painless. So not much to guide me there. It has to be cognitive, think before you do! We had a good discussion about what can be done in the future at the right time. And also what to be doing , and not doing now. Very very helpful and reassuring

      Dr. Holtzman and his associate were very professional, courteous, kind, and caring. Dr. Holtzman is exceptional at explaining what you need, answering all of your questions, and he really listens to his patients - even stating that all extra information is appreciated because it helps him understand more about why things happened and what is needed for treatment. That is exceptional in a Dr. His intelligence, exceptional knowledge in his & other fields, and his uncanny ability to help everyone understand their bodies, their health status, and their ability to heal, lifts him a step above many.
