A PATIENT'S MESSAGE OF GRATITUDE
“Thirty-six years ago, when you did my first TKR, you said, 'no more running, no more tennis.' I responded, 'you're ruining my life.' Then you said, 'Do what I do: swim.' So I did, working up to 1,250 yards three times weekly before cutting back to 1,000 two months ago. I've survived a Whipple, bladder cancer, a loss of 50 pounds and living with severe pancreatic insufficiency. But I'm alive and feel pretty damn good.
There's no question but that I wouldn't be alive today if not for you. Thanks from a grateful patient.”

“As I look back at the past 22 years as your patient, I am filled with immense gratitude for all you have done for me. From the moment you took my case when others wouldn’t, you gave me not only hope but also the ability to live a fuller, more mobile life.
You have performed 3 replacements for me and with each surgery, your skill, compassion and unwavering dedication have been evident. Your excellent bedside manner and genuine care made all the difference. I always felt I was in the BEST hands, and I cannot thank you enough for the confidence and comfort you provided through each procedure and recovery. Because of you, I have been able to chase and keep up with my kids and so much more. I will forever be grateful for your expertise. Thank you for everything you’ve done for me. All my appreciation”

“Words cannot express our family's and my sentiment of "thanksgiving" for what you have done to be able to have a better quality of life. With all our respect and love, you and your family have been enrolled in the Sacred Heart Southern Mission for one full year of Holy Mass and prayers. We pray for Merciful Jesus to continue filling your heart with "Oceans of His love and mercy."
May our Blessed Mother Mary and St. Joseph bless, guide and protect you and all you hold dear.
God bless!”
