Dr. Pierce went above and beyond every expectation of mine. There wasn't many questions for me to have for him pertaining to my upcoming surgery as he went into detail with such depth from start to finish that there was nothing for me to ask. In almost all of my surgeries I've had I've been told the surgery and then if I wanted to know anything my family and I had to ask. Dr. Pierce was just phenomenal and great bed side manners. I would recommend him to anyone.
