"Over a year of being a pre-transplant patient I’ve been met with one disappointment after another. Perfunctory would be a kind way to describe my doctor, but apathetically negligent would be most accurate."
— a-better-place.com"Unfortunately, I don’t know the name of this person, but I hope everything will go back to her... the social worker was really rude. Like how can you do this work if you hate people so much??!!"
— Birdeye (Review)"After years of depleting health and living a life that seemed like I always had one foot in the grave and one foot out, my double-lung transplant has given me a vibrant, new life."
