The doctor provided me with different ways he could treat my problem allowing me to be included in the decision making.

Just from a preop visit I got the impression that I was in good hands. Dr. Smith came highly recommended by other providers I see (and trust), as well as his patients reviewing him on the UVA site. He took the time to explain how he expected his recommended surgical treatment to help me. What my preparation, procedure and recovery would entail. What the alternatives are and the risks are. He involved me in the decision and answered all of my questions patiently and in terms I could understand. He explained throughout my ultrasound what he was seeing, and showed me what it looked like and explained how it confirmed his diagnosis. He reviewed my CT scans that had not yet resulted by a radiologist, and identified the area of concern and then his ultrasound confirmed exactly what he thought.
