When Dana Waldbaum went to her surgical consult appointment with Dr. Anthony Canfield, she did not expect to end up in surgery two hours later. Dana had been experiencing acute pain from an umbilical hernia and knew that she would probably need surgery, but didn't think it would happen the same day. She was extremely impressed with Dr. Canfield's care and his ability to coordinate a surgery on such short notice. He personally pushed her in a wheelchair to the operating room, was with her through the surgery experience and called her to make sure she was doing well at home. She says he, "...went above and beyond most surgeons."

From pre-op to post-op, Dana was very happy with the professionalism of the staff and the personalized care she received.
