Dr Lee Gause was amazing and provided me an appointment within a short notice. The staff of the clinic was incredible from the receptionist who was welcoming and made me and my daughter feel welcome.
Dr Lee Gause expertly dealt with my problem and removed the implant and worked on the problematic area with such expertise. I am thankful for his attention to detail and guidance on the recovery process. I feel a world better and cannot thank him enough for the brilliant work.
Much appreciated Doctor
