    Dr. Teixeira came in and explained what he was going to, what he might have to do and what he felt I wouldn't need. He was very thorough and detailed in his explanation. Very personable and he made me feel comfortable with him even though it was my first time meeting with him. He was assisting my neurosurgeon with a wound that was not closing. The surgery went well and I should have a successful recovery.
