Dr. Turner was direct, informative, responsive and did a great job of removing my parathyroid gland that was malfunctioning. The surgery was done soon after the necessary confirmation of which gland to remove. The pain was minimal and the normal swelling that went along with this minimally invasive surgery is not noticeable.

Dr Turner removed my appendix on 10/22/2018 he made me feel comfortable before the surgery and took time to answer any questions I had after the surgery . I would recommend him to anyone needing a surgery he could perform. I thank my LORD JESUS CHRIST for him and may his family be blessed for his life saving work.

Dr. Turner was very thorough explaining thyroidectomy procedure in terms that I understood. Staff extremely proficient in arranging all appointment, etc. before surgery. Dr. Turner listened to my concerns about caring for my vocal cords as I sing for my profession. Surgery went well. I’m singing again. Scar is minimal as I am following Dr. Turner’s instructions. He’s the best.

I've now had 2 hernia surgeries that Dr. Turner has repaired. Excellent job on both and exactly what you want in a doctor. He is time-efficient while you are in his office, but would never make you feel like you are being rushed. Hopefully I have no more surgeries, but if I do I know where to go for the best possible experience.

Truly an Outstanding Surgeon. Had almost no pain after the surgery. If I ever needed to be operated on again, I want it to be by Dr Turner. Also has an outstanding office staff. His assistant Lizzette, his physicians assistant and all the other individuals in the office were really terrific.

I had to have my thyroid removed and Dr. Turner explain what was causing my issue, told me what my options were, explaining the process in detail. Having surgery can be very unpleasant experience, but Dr. Turner made very pleasant experience.

I would not have any other surgeon perform my partial thyroidectomy . I have been putting this off for 10 years until I saw Dr. Turner. He was extremely calming and on our first visit brought his faithful side kick, his dog which put me completely at ease. Surgery went perfect and at follow up he was funny and easy to talk to again (no side kick this time) The staff are wonderful and to call and talk to someone makes you feel like they have known you forever.

Dr. Turner explained procedure thoroughly; he was very attentive to my issue/concerns. He took his time; I did not feel like I was being rushed. I live far and traffic was very heavy. Dr. Turner still saw me when I arrived. I must also mention that his secretary Leezette, was very courteous, nice and professional. Leezette explained instructions thoroughly and provided me with information i needed. The lady that took my vitals was very professional also. Dr. Turner and his staff are AWESOME!!

Having a hemi thyroidectomy surgery performed by Dr. Turner couldn't have been more successful, with a remarkable recovery. I was back to work in a short period of time and able tor resume all normal activities within 10 days. He is especially able to communicate all of the possible risks involved regarding this surgery and had an affable bedside manner. His assistant, Leezette was also very responsive and friendly in handling appointments and fielding questions.
