Dr. Aher is very personable. He has a great bedside manner.He explained the chart review he had done and what was going on with me physically, and went through several options to resolve the issue. He was very thorough and answered all my questions to my satisfaction. We discussed preop and postop issues and scheduling.He does his own procedure scheduling - a stellar move. As a provider, I did this in my VA wound clinic because I knew how much time it would take per patient and I could juggle the schedule as needed. This is something providers should be doing, It makes needs of patient the primary source for scheduling, not needs of the organization. He also discussed postop travel plans with me so that I could rearrange any scheduling as needed.

Dr. Asher was very nice and explained the surgery very well. He didn't pressure me to have the surgery and he was very cooperative with my decision to not accept a blood transfusion. (Acts 15:28,29) I could tell that he is a very good surgeon. If I decide to have the surgery I will definitely want him to do it.
