Like I said he's the best!

5.0

He saved my husbands life and took our explanation of what happened at the ER and sent him in for a heart cath thank goodness for that as he had a 70% blockage in his heart that’s nicknamed the widow maker. The surgeon put in a stint there and another on as well that was at 70% blockage! He saved his life by referring him to his associate for the cath.
