I never feel alone with my care, Dr. Emory helps ease my concerns and pushes me towards the right decisions. She definitely the best, she will always be remembered, even during surgery she made time to talk to my wife and kept communication about the timeline of the surgery.

Thank you for being an outstanding Surgeon, Doctor, and friend Dr. Emory.
