I’m a 10 yr. breast cancer survivor who as a result has converted to a vegan (imperfectly) diet and now as a 68 yr. old have had two TIAs in the last year. As a result, I’m now taking 81 mg. of aspirin a day. Otherwise, I’m feeling fine with lots of energy and 4 mile walks almost every day. No arthritis or other complaints.

I have to say the care both my wife and I were given by the entire staff was fantastic. My wife and I don’t live in Baltimore; we live in a small town 75 miles west of the city and don’t know our way around. From the preop visit to the surgery, every person we dealt with from the admin staff (person in lobby telling me where to go in such a large facility and the check in staff the day of the surgery), nurses (both preop and PACU) and doctors were professional and took the time to answer all my questions. The day of the surgery, we had to be at the hospital for 12 hours, the staff helped my wife find places to eat and help get her internet access so she could keep our family members up-to-date on the surgeries progress. The hospital should be proud that they have such high quality staff members that made an uncomfortable day tolerable.

Thank you,

David Barrow
