I was in Panama City Beach when I had to have an emergency appendectomy. Being away from my home in North Alabama I was very apprehensive about going to a strange hospital. Dr. Slavens was the surgeon on call which was very fortunate for me. What a great guy! What a great doctor who cares about people. Because of him and the great support staff at Bay Medical I will always feel secure knowing that I can go there when I am in PCB. The surgery(7−7−12) went without a hitch. In fact I never even took an advil for pain. As a follow-up I contacted Dr. Slavens office and Sandra couldn’t have been nicer.
