"He is attentive to my needs. Takes his time to explain what are my options and what are the pros and cons to everything. Always have someone from his staff available if I have any questions. The best decision I ever made was seeking help from him and his highly competent staff."
"I have sent several of my friends and my son to Dr. Afaneh in the past 2 years. As a bile duct cancer survivor who has undergone radical suregery, chemo, etc. , I only considered a highly experienced bariatric/hernia surgeon. Not only does Dr. Afaneh take the time to explain in simple terms what he thinks needs to be done but he does it in a highly pleasant manner!"
"Dr Afaneh is an excellent surgeon with excellent bedside manner. I had an emergent surgery and he was very attentive to my needs. He and his terrific staff checked in with me over the next few days as I recuperated at home. I highly recommend him for any general surgery."
