Patient Reviews
May 28, 2023
He was the Fellow when he was part of the team that performed my liver transplant. I saw him the most post transplant while in the hospital. He is smart, attentive, compassionate and pushed me to walk 15 minutes every hour. I didn’t always make it the first day or so, but he educated e on the benefit. I’m convinced that gentle nudging set the stage for my great recovery.
