What can you say about the dr. that saved your life. Just an incredibly dedicated man at the top of his craft. I was truly blessed the day dr puskas agreed to perform surgery on me. I don’t think I would be doing as well as I am today without his innovative surgery techniques and skill. God bless you Dr Puskas for all you did for me and everyone you’ve helped throughout your life.
