Our family believes from personal experience and community reputation that Dr. Bour is an excellent surgeon, one of the best around. Beyond that accomplishment, he possesses the innate ability to relate to his patients by clearly communicating the problems, challenges, and options their diagnosis presents. He does so by respecting the patient,Äôs choices and treating them like they really matter.

Again I was well pleased with Dr Bour, he has a great bedside manner. As well as a great personality I would recommend him to a family member or friend if they need any kind of surgical procedures.

I highly recommend Dr Bour. He took his time to explain the surgical procedure and made me feel more at ease. He left the decision up to me and I felt no pressure from him. I did not feel rushed like I do with most Doctors.
