Dr. Hill was phenomenal. He explained in detail the difficulty I am having, showed pictures, thoroughly explained the surgery and care afterwards. He did not seem to be in a hurry. It was clear that he had looked at my chart and named all of my Vanderbilt physicians. I was so impressed with him and would definitely recommend him to others.
