Dr. Ahrens is a true expert in the field. His knowledge, skill, and attention to detail were evident from our very first consultation, where he took the time to thoroughly explain the procedure, address all my concerns, and set realistic expectations. This level of professionalism and communication continued throughout the entire process. On the day of the surgery, I felt completely confident in Dr. Ahrens hands. The procedure went flawlessly, and I experienced minimal discomfort during my recovery, which I attribute to their surgical expertise.
