Dr. Rizk and team were fantastic. Fast and courteous consult. Surgery team was efficient, explained everything very well, Dr. Rizk spoke to my family immediately following the procedure with how it went (complete transparency) and then provided great follow up/post surgery information. I recommend Dr. Rizk & Brenda Van Scoyk & team for surgical needs!
