    How was your appointment with Dr. Lefave?

    Dec 02, 2022
    We met with Dr. LeFave prior to the surgery and he explained in great detail, the procedure, and what I might expect during surgery and post surgery/recovery. He was very thorough and reassuring during a very stressful time. When I had my scheduled follow up visit, Dr. LeFave took the time to talk about what he'd done during the surgery, and explained what the recovery process would look like. He answered all my questions without me feeling rushed or uncomfortable about my concerns. Thank you, Dr. LeFave, for improving my quality of life!!
