If surgery has improved your life, then you know that telling others your personal story might improve their lives too. Pass on that good energy! The following quotes are from some people who did just that. Thank you for the appreciation!

He was with me from day one all the way throughout my first year after surgery. I am a straightforward kind of person and he picked up on that right away. He was very transparent with me. I appreciate the realness from Dr. Richardson and I am thankful for the new chance at this life. Thank you so much!"
