Patient Reviews
Sep 16, 2024
Dr. John Uecker has saved my mom's life! She had been carrying her goiter for more than 40 years and she is already 77 years old. We are from the Philippines and my mother got here in the US a year ago (2023). In the Philippines, she underwent for labworks, ct scan and ultrasound. Doctors advised that my mom's case was going to be complicated because of her age, goiter was too big and tumor has already been occupied her chest. Therefore, there was no assurance that she could survive! We had decided not to proceed with the surgery, and we just accepted the fact that my mom would die with goiter. Suddenly, everything has been changed. Dr. Uecker has gave us hope, assurance, and confidence that my mom could survive! He was absolutely right! My mom's surgery went successful!Thank you so much, Dr. John Uecker, Dr. Benitez and other surgical team members, for your compassion, patience, kindness, hard work and commitment to excellent medical care!!!
