Dr. King is awesome. She genuinely cares for her patients prior to surgery, performs surgery skillfully with little scarring, and cares about our successes post-op. Further, she thoroughly prepares her patients with conversations and an information folder prior to the surgery that continues to be a wealth of information. Her diligence is amazing.

Kind, knowledgeable and very professional.
