Patient Reviews
Dec 20, 2018
I hope to God I've got the right Dr. Idler. Some 27 years ago, I arrived at St. Vincent hospital in Indianapolis with a gross hand and arm injury. August 22, 1991, I got my arm caught in a conveyor belt and almost ripped off. My momma was told several times that I would lose my arm to my elbow. Then suddenly this angel arrived and saved my arm and hand. Richard Idler, I wish I could see you, hug you, and show yor 1991 skin grafts. U R my angel and I wish I could show you my gratitude. Thank you
