Dr David R Hockmuth literally saved my life when on November 1, 2023 at approximately 2:30 am I needed emergency surgery to save my life!!!! Thank you God for providing this surgeon at such time of my need. This being my 2nd aortic aneurysm dissection, I knew that it was of the utmost importance to get to the hospital ASAP so I dialed 911. Thank you to all that were involved in my time of need!!!!
