Patient Reviews
Nov 11, 2023
Thank you for finally getting Mikael's shunt to work. You listened to my husband's concern about the bulge at his neck. And he hasn't had another revision since. Mikael is home and still recovering. He needs Physical therapy because the multiple hospitalizations wasted away his muscle strength. But he is back to his cheerful, wonderful self. His voice is loud and clear and he is as funny as ever. Great job!
