Dr Foster & Dr Palma back 10 years ago coming up this October did a liver Trans Plant on my wife and shes doing very well today thanks to these exceptional Surgeons. Although Dr Palma has departed they are both the best in Liver Transplant here in San Antonio, Texas. Thank you for her life from the both of us.
