Jan
Surgery in July, 2005

"I had surgery in 2005. The biggest decision I ever made, but the day I made it was when I attended a seminar by Dr. Mirande. I felt that he was very informative and answered every question thrown his was with no effort at all, telling me that he is a smart man."

"There wasn’t anything that he didn’t tell me about. I knew what to expect t. After my surgery, he still was the most caring person, for and has shown me several times that he is proud of me. Thank you Dr. Mirande"
