    Dr. Hu was great! She explained the procedure and allowed me to ask as many questions as I wanted to. I never felt rushed at appointments or when I went for surgery. She followed up the day after surgery with a call to see how I was doing. I had a question a few days later and she called back to answer it. She really put me at ease.
