I developed a hernia in Feb. and the emergency room doctor suggested a few surgeons. Dr. Xu was not one of the doctors recommended and being all the ones that were, was busy, I took a chance and made an appointment. I made a great choice because he was prompt ,to the point, explained the pros and cons honestly and the wait time was minimal. Mar. 8 was the surgery. After surgery I walked on my own and only needed Ibuprofen. I am back to work and feel great. Thank you Dr Xu for a job well done.
