"I had no problems with my surgeon Dr. Chassion. However, his post ops are with the mid levels. How “professional” it was today to be laughed at by his PA... I won’t be returning to a clinic that laughs at their patients! It would be one star but I have nothing bad to say about my surgeon Dr. Chassion so I gave an extra star for him. It’s the after care that is not acceptable!"
