How likely are you to recommend Dr. Sledge?
I’ve been seeing him almost 30 years. He’s very easy to talk to. He’s my primary care doctor. I like that he’s honest with me. He tells me what I need to know without talking down to me. I’m now 72. In the past 10 years I’ve had: hysterectomy, gallbladder remover, thyroid cancer, both knees replaced, and bladder lift. The specialists surgeons focused on their areas. Dr Sledge took time to let me process things. I’ve had bad experiences in two of the surgeries. Dr Sledge listened to my complaints and fears afterwards. He gave me meaningful feedback. . My son, in his late 30s has moved 60 miles away and still sees Dr Sledge as his primary doctor. We trust him. I feel comfortable questioning his advice.
