    Dr. Milas was extremely attentive, knowledgeable, and personable. I enjoyed her company and that is not something I have ever thought about a caregiver before. All of my previous fears about surgery are greatly diminished. I feel that I could not have a better surgeon taking care of me. I received a helpful packet of information to prepare me for the surgery when I left and that was very comforting to have and study.
