Mar 2026Dr. Atkinson listened and was able to answer my questions. He did not rush me and took his time.Mar 2026Dr. Atkinson has mastered the perfect balance of expertise, compassion and kindness. He has the kind of bedside manner that other doctors should aspire to and after my surgery I also appreciate his skill and expertise at bringing me through a surgery that wasn't textbook or typical.
