Oct 22, 2019
The news of having open heart surgery came on fast and furious. I met with Dr. Williams and he was so in tune with what i needed to hear. Three years later i feel great. I am so blessed to have had Dr. Derek Williams as my Surgeon. You left Florida before i could really thank you for what you have done to improve my life. Thank you so very much. I think of you often with gratitude.
