Very professional and at the same time really treated me like a person who was a bit nervous about a surgery. He has a calming affect. Great combination for a surgeon to have.

I had some fear about the procedure. Dr Atkinson was calm and explained it in a way I would understand. He was empathic to my fears of the surgery.
