I highly recommend Dr. Bhrany

I found Dr. Bhrany to be thorough, careful, and thoughtful. He is clearly concerned about what the patient’s expectations are and what he can provide in light of those expectations. Dr. Bhrany did exactly as I said I wanted, and the outcome is just what I wanted. Dr. Bhrany even met with me for an unscheduled post-surgery visit when I was initially concerned about something, and he met me at his office on a Saturday morning to address my concern (and all resolved just fine). I highly recommend Dr. Bhrany.
