Do you have a favorite doctors/specialist?

Maybe someone who went above and beyond for you during a hospital stay?

Give them a shout out and tell us their story.

  1. Kathy my daughter's care by her nurse Shirley at University Hospital was one R.N. who was very compassionate and comforting for both my daughter and our family while she was in the ICU unit at University Hospital in Tamarac, FL. Kudos, Marc M., Moderator, spinalmuscularatrophy.net

    1. My favorite specialist has to be my neurosurgeon, Dr. Vanderhaven, who performed my full spinal fusion when I was ten. My back had a 90-degree curve, and she managed to bring it down to 50 degrees—a life-changing improvement. Dr. Vanderhaven was not only incredibly skilled but also kind and compassionate. She always made me feel safe and cared for while also meaning business when it came to my health. I truly wouldn’t be here without her expertise and dedication, and I’ll always be grateful for everything she’s done for me. She’s the best! -Jennifer SpinalMuscularAtrophy.net Moderator
