            Great surgeon but doesn't listen. Poor communication both before surgery and at this last visit.

            Dr Tunkel had an excellent bedside manner and spent a lot more time than most doctors do talking with us and listening to us. He spoke kindly and got down to my daughter's level when she became upset about needing surgery. We felt very confident in our choice and decision to proceed with surgery with Dr Tunkel.
