Nov 19, 2021
He saved my sister, Gloria’s (Moi) life by taking out her lung cancer at stage 1a. Thank God for his excellent instincts and also his surgical expertise. He was double boarded in cardio thoracic surgery (once at Hershey school of medicine in Penn and second one at Brigham and women’s hospital). To do two fellowships is a dedication to excellence
