Healey Surgeons is a very highly thought of, professional, first class
operation. I'd bet money the shoddy work was done by a DPO.
I'm not affiliated with Healey Surgeons beyond the fact they advertise
in a magazine for which I am the commercial ad director. I'd just hate
to see an outfit I know to be top-notch to be accused of shoddy work.
