Testimonials

 Every interaction with everyone was so positive. I really like the way everything is done here!

 As a new surgical patient, Dr. Ahearne was very thorough helping me understand the surgical process ahead. He was compassionate as well as informative. I feel confident completely with his care. The office part was very professional.

 Dr. Bird is awesome. Very thankful I have him and his team when the need arises.

 The staff made me feel very comfortable and respected my privacy. Dr. Bird took time to listen to my concerns and answer all my questions and concerns. Excellent staff from receptionist to nurse to doctor!

 Dr. Swords is knowledgeable, caring, and capable. His examination seemed thorough, and he followed up by reviewing my past medical record, assessing the problem, and calling me the next day to advise me. While in his office, he noticed an unrelated problem and took a biopsy. I am extremely impressed with his professional care

 Dr. Mazotas was my surgeon who removed my thyroid 2 years ago. When I was told I needed to have my gallbladder removed, I knew she was my surgeon of choice. She and staff are professional, responsive, and attentive…the best!!!
