How likely are you to recommend Dr. Arce?
Dr Arce saved my son’s life. My son had a massive TBI. Dr Arce removed part of his skull and put it in his stomach to keep it viable. As my son’s brain swelled, it did so going up through the opening made instead of down his spine which would have killed him. Dr. Arce eventually replaced that piece of skull, removing it from his stomach and placing it back where it belonged. In doing so, I insisted that Dr Arce use the scar from the first surgery for the 2nd surgery leaving my son with one scar instead of 2 in his head, as in most TBI patients. I didn’t want my son’s 1st impression to others be solely as a TBI victim. Dr. Arce did that successfully, which is hard to do due to cutting through scar tissue. 4 successful surgeries. The 5th involved removing a blood clot that had developed between the brain and the skull. Again successful. Dr Arce is a father of 6. He fought as hard to save my son’s life as if he was 1 of own, which is what I asked him to do. Forever grateful to this man.
