"After surgery, however, is a different story. It takes forever to get anyone on the phone— 20 minute minimum wait. Emails go unanswered. Appointments are difficult to schedule, and cancellations are common. If you have an emergency or post-surgery complications, on-call doctors are NEVER available."
— Birdeye review"Dr. Sommer is always cheerful and eager to help. I feel like I can ask him any questions, he never makes me feel like I asked a stupid question, and he doesn't get upset if I ask the same question a few times until I understand."
