Re: Recant

[Guest guest]

Jerry,

The way Dr R wants us to KNOW about things instead of walking into this

uninformed is what really drew my attention too! He treats us like people,

not something to be " fixed " . So many Dr's have a way of making me feel as if

I am broken, I am not broken just slightly out of balance. I think the

surgery helps us to rebalance ourselves and then go on about our lives on a

much more even keel! Paige
