He was the best surgeon we have spoke with. He made it feel like our time was valued to him and explained everything and even answered all my questions and explained those answered in depth.

Dr. Bonefield was very professional, considerate and knowledgeable. He listed to all concerns and took my personal desires into consideration. He didn't beat around the bush but gave concise and clear answers to all questions. He had a great "bedside" manor and was really nice. He made me feel confident in his medical judgement

Dr Bonfield is outstanding. He answered all of my questions and showed me the areas causing the problem on the PET scan. I trust Dr Bonfield and this was the first time we met. He is excellent.
