I am always pleased with the treatment received.
The Dr. and his immediate staff were very nice. The Dr. went out of his way to minimize the large gap I had in between Transplant drs. It was first time I arrived back home by 2pm. My sister [...] who drives me was so grateful too as she lives another HR away. He didn't have to do anything he had already did his part but yet he went out of his way and take that extra step. That means a lot to me more than you know. My life has been turned upside down since [...]. He added a little bit of sunshine to my day! [...]
