Apr 03, 2021
Ok back to my Dr. I know I just addressed some not so nice issues about him. I too would also like to state why he is my favorite Dr. In 2001 I gave birth to my daughter through a c-section in Anchorage. I became very ill from an ecoli infection in my blood via the c section. I almost died with fever reaching 107. Then the infection traveled up my abdomin causing necrotizing fasciitis. I had to undergo emergency surgery to remove the infected tissues leaving a wide open wound that was required to heal from the inside out. As a result of the wound I had to undergo wound care everyday for a couple months. Part of the time my wound care would be in Anchorage and part of the time my wound care was out here in the Valley. I attended a local urgent care here in 2002 where I met this Dr Everyday at around 8 am for a week I had the privilege of this Dr. doing my wound care for me. I've just got to say This Dr. was the nicest Dr. with the best bedside manner of any Dr. I had known. (I k
