Patient Reviews
Jun 29, 2023
Thirty five years ago Dr Close successfully treated my "terminal" cancer! My mastectomy revealed 17 positive lymph nodes. I asked Dr Close if there was hope, he told me there is always guarded hope. He was most diligent and was amazingly kind and genuine. I will always consider him a true tool of my amazing Savior that has given me such real hope.
