Jan 16, 2024
Over twenty years ago Dr John Handel been working on me to repair the movement of my left arm. First at the Northeast Hospital. Then at Einstein Hospital,I just wanted him to know that my left side is still working well. My granddaughter used to ask question after question, he always took the time to answer her.Her name is Melanee and she has been in the USCG now to 16 years. My name is Hazel Petroski and my injury was caused by my job at the USPS. Dr. Handal made it possible for me to enjoy the life I have been living. My age is up there now but life is good.thank you Dr. John Handel.
