Dr Gunter went above and beyond to explain the surgery including a detailed diagram. She answered all of our questions with kindness, patience and compassion . She had surprisingly quick response to the testing that was done (she called back without an hour of the completed test!) . She is a gift to all of her patients . Thank you Dr Gunter
