    I appreciate the fact he listened to my concerns about potential surgery and was very thorough in his explanations of the benefits and risks. I've only seen them once and I have not yet had surgery so my opinion may change in the future. So far, I am very comfortable with this Dr.

    So Dr. Lightsey was very prompt, very professional, very soft-spoken, asked me, was open to all questions, listened to what I had to say, reviewed my medical history, explained in detail any procedures that, any procedures that may have to happen sometime in the future, but handled my current questions and why I was there very thoroughly. I'm very happy.
