Review for Dr. Hubbard
Dr. Mackey is both, professional and personable. He takes time to explain and also 'show' you what he is talking about, making sure that you know what is going on. If he professionally thinks you need or don't need surgery, he tells you, and he tells you why. He also answers all and any questions...

Dr. Karpos explained everything to me and made it clear we were dealing with my health as a team. He made me feel like he had all the time I needed. I am in competent hands.

Dr Parker is a no nonsense individual-he doesn’t sugar coat your condition (s) just the truth so that you both can make an educated decision based on facts. He is caring and a compassionate MD who demonstrates a true commitment to his patients
