I really like Dr. Bennett. He Is a nice man, and he is an outstanding surgeon. I just need more explanation--I want to understand all of the steps in the process. I feel like I'm imposing on his time. I'm smart enough to handle and always appreciate clear explanations of where we've been and where things are going. I'm really hoping that, during the next visit, I have more than 2-3 minutes for questions/explanations without feeling like I'm being rushed out the door.
