Dr. Whelan and his large team are top not h! each and everyone! I was introduced to each and everyone, their roles were explained, I had the opportunity to ask every single question I had clearly and they gave me as much time as I needed… I never felt rushed, I felt heard, comfortable, my needs considered…truly the most impressive medical team I have ever worked with… Edward Ng, the anesthesiologist working with Dr Richard Whelan was incredible, he stayed patient with my battery of questions and non typical queries, great guy! And every nurse I encountered kind, sweet, understanding and unruffled
