Resident and Dr Boracas exceeded expectations. Explained everything clearly. Entertained questions. We travelled 3 hrs to have him as the Dr and he never disappoints. Very knowledgeable, skilled AND patient human focused. Best combo!

The provider's care and expertise was second to none. Like some other areas of medicine, from a patient perspective, the area of urology can at times be awkward and confusing. The doctor spent considerable time prior to the procedure answering questions and addressing concerns, and he made me feel extremely at ease for a procedure that is admittedly uncomfortable. After the procedure, he continued to answer questions about the results, and he offered to communicate with colleagues on some specific items that he felt required another opinion. Within days, he followed up on this separate communication to ensure I had what I needed. I was extremely impressed by not just his knowledge but by his overall approach. I would recommend this provider to anyone.
