“Dr Bindal is a wonderful doctor. He is patient and kind and takes the time to really explain what you will go through with your surgery or family member will go through. I have been in both positions as the mother of the patient and as the patient. He is all business / doctor when it is needed but once the initial concerns are done away with, surgery, and danger he will lighten up and be there for you when you need him. He is a ten star doctor where it counts !!!!” – Bonita Bramante
