Thorough, personable, professional, knowledgeable
Very kind and personable. Very easy to talk to.
Dr. DeWane was phenomenal. He was very thorough, spoke to me in a manner I could understand and explained the areas that needed repair and how it probably happened. I feel like I am in very good hands. I couldn't have picked a better doctor for my procedure.
With utmost respect and professionalism, Dr. Dewane provided a most comprehensive hernia surgery consultation.
Thank you
Quality care and bedside manner
My doctor was excellent. He explained everything and I was able to ask my questions. So it was an excellent experience. Thank you.
This was an appointment with the surgeon prior to surgery.
Although it was only a phone call for pre surgery issues, I felt he was very knowledgeable, listened to my concerns and provided good information.
