"Dr. Stokes and his staff were so knowledgeable and professional while at the same time being friendly and explaining everything in detail. He also listens well and took all the time needed to listen and understand my situation. I'm so excited to go forward with my surgery because after meeting with Dr. Stokes there's no doubt that I have complete confidence in him and his abilities. I'm traveling from Amarillo, Texas because I had heard great things about this practice and now I am so happy to have made the journey."
