Hi again,
Dr. Casino was the epi in charge during my surgery. My primary epi is Dr. Britton. Dr. Casino was very good. After my second surgery, I could barely walk, because of my vision (I guess). The neurosurgeon was eager to send me home. Thankfully, Dr. Casino recognized that I wasn't physically ready to do it and told me to stay another night. So, I give him thumbs up :0
I wish you the best of luck, take care!
