This surgeon’s level of skill and competence is truly a gift to the world. A gift I hope those injured will never take for granted.

This trauma surgeon is a stud. If you have major trauma, you want doctors like this available.

Those life flight nurses are the ones who got him back after 9 mins of no heartbeat! They are lifesavers!!!

I named my son after the incredibly skilled and kind surgeon who saved my life. I sincerely hope that this surgeon knows how appreciated he is.

As a retired nurse, this surgeon displays fast and effective testimony to the injured patients. You can tell he’s a trauma surgeon due to how fast he speaks and has to think quickly about assessing trauma emergency patients. These kids were blessed to have a quick thinking surgeon who saved their lives that day.

As a nurse of 24 years, this MD is exceptional.
