5.0 star star star star starHe is an amazing awesome doctor. He takes time to talk you through things no matter how long or how many questions you have. He takes time out if your having any problems or side effects from surgery. He responded to you not a nurse he responds to you in a timely matter. I truly appreciate him and the work he does. I wish more doctor and surgeon have the same objective or love for there job and patients like he does.

5.0 star star star star starDr. Kay was amazing from start to finish. He answered all of our questions about the surgery in the office and whenever we needed it. He was kind during the surgery and was so helpful to help my family feel comfortable. He checked on me a few times afterwards, and overall made this whole experience, which was very scary, much less so.
