Surgeon Testimonial

Bryan Freeman, M.D.
My First impression of Dr. Freeman was that he was a Christian man. Also, Dr. Freeman has specialized in this surgery. He seems totally devoted to his "calling".

My impression of Dr. Freeman has not changed. If anything, it has become stronger. I have done much research on this surgery in the past 3 years and Dr. Freeman's success rate is wonderful.

The staff at Dr. Freeman's office is wonderful. Beverly is a doll. She assisted me so much in trying to get me approved.

So far, there is nothing that I do not like about this office or the doctor.

Dr. Freeman and his staff place much empahsis on aftercare. His booklet that I received once I was approved (The Owner's Manual) spells out everything so there is absolutely no questions.

Furture patients should know that he is a wonderful person and believes in the power of prayer.

He does have a structured aftercare program.

He has fully addressed all of the risks of surgery.

Overall I would give him a 15 on a scale of 10.

I'm so thankful to have Dr. Freeman and staff throughout this, they have been wonderful. (Beverly rocks!!!) Also, want you to know that Geni is in my prayers for healing from the bite.

Donna T's memorial service
Today was Donna's going home service.  I was very very nice.  So many people had beautiful things to say about her.  After all, Donna was an unusually nice and precious lady.  One man told of an azalea that Donna had given him and his wife a while back.  The azalea never bloomed.  However, this past Thursday, one single bud bloomed.  The man had brought the bloom to the funeral.  It was beautiful, just as Donna was.  She will be so missed, but she is in a place of beauty and splendor.  She will never have any worries and never be sick again.  I cannot even imagine what she is seeing, doing, or whom she is talking to right now.  I will see you one day, Donna.  I love you and miss you and I will always hug you in my heart!!!!
