Talking about Gregory F. Dakin, M.D.
"Dr. Dakin is the best surgeon in the world. Period. He took my gallbladder out and he did such a good job that not one of the awful scary things I read about online happened to me. It was a perfect experience. Almost no pain and my scars healed up so perfect that you can’t even see them. He is simply the best. I am so thankful for him and his entire team for helping me. Forever grateful."
