      *Dr. Sloan has always been one to see me as a person, not just another surgical care. He has always asked about my health since last visit, always includes my husband in discussions. He is wonderful and more surgeons should be like this!

      After going and hunting from doctor to doctor that could not help me. Dr Sloan knew what he was doing and brought other doctors in to discuss my case. Best Doctor he was spectacular his PA Donna is so kind and caring and works along with Dr Sloan so well. She always makes sure I'm doing okay during a procedure as well as Dr Sloan.The nurses are caring and kind.i everyone very nice happy and helpful and explained everything he was going to do. Too bad other offices can't even be half this good .
