Topic: RE: Surgeons in the DC area

My surgeon was Joseph Afram in DC. He is wonderful and his program is totally comprehensive. I would give the office a call and talk to Sally or Mandy-they are super nice people. Dr. Afram has performed over 3000 GBS and never lost a patient. Hope this helped! I had surgery on 8/12/04
