There are absolutely no adequate words to express that Dr. Moreno is absolutely brilliant--before surgery appointments with him where he explained everything that would happen, the intricate surgery itself, and the aftermath and follow-up appointments. Not only is he brilliant, but he takes the time during each appointment to make me feel like I am his only patient. His manner is calm, friendly and very knowledgeable--jemse brilliant!
