Everyone was helpful and well informed. Even the nurse trainee was great and kind as she learned from the nurse taking my blood today.

If it weren't for the visits to Vandy and being cared for by Dr. Shafer, my surgical and health outcomes wouldn't have been as positive and my healing would not have been so easy. Thank you all so much.
