Dr. Hodge and his staff have been very helpful and encouraging throughout my whole journey.  He will be real with you and tell you exactly what to expect without sugar-coating anything.  I, for one, appreciate his candid honesty.  Things have gone very smoothly for me, and I credit both his staff and his expertise.  The pre-op process is quite involved, but it really does prepare you for what is to come.  I would recommend him to anyone I know and love.
