"When I first met with Dr. Joffe, I was scared to death, actually, still am, and probably will be til I am home and relatively back to normal.
He is a very nice soft-spoken man, who definitely knows his stuff. He didnt sugar coat anything, and told me straight up when I said I was scared, that I should be, its not something that should be taken lightly.
My first appointment with Dr Joffe was in August of 2002. It is now December of 2005 and I am scheduled for mys urgery on January 16th, 2006."
