TESTIMONIALS
Dr. John Abikhaled removed 2 of my parathyroids a month ago. I was nervous. He explained the procedure very well and I felt like I was in very capable and experienced hands. After surgery he let me know how things went and what all he did during surgery.
Other than a sore throat, I only needed 2 pain pills during my recovery. 3 weeks later, he peeled off my superglue-like bandage to reveal the excellent job he did of almost no noticeable incision!!! I was shocked! This man did an amazing job! I would highly recommend him to my best friends!!
