My visit was excellent.
I simply cannot say enough good things about Dr. Petrov & the entire staff & Temple.
Dr. Roman Petrov is #1.
[...] dr. is a very good surgeon, and that's why I was there!
Dr. Petrov has always worked closely w/my GI dr. [...] Dr. Petrov also has had a great concern for my health, & proactive to finding out what my medical problems were.
Caring & concerned.
Was very pleased w/Dr. Petrov & how he ordered tests to find out what was exactly wrong with me. He didn't just assume!
