This was a xxx follow up. The doctor was very good at answering questions regarding wound care and return to normal activities.

Dr. Pipkin had my husband call me to ask questions about my son's condition. He listened very carefully to my concerns and reassured me the issue could be fixed. I appreciate that extra effort.
