I was recently admitted to the hospital with multiple issues with my right lung, which had stemmed from an accident I had a few years earlier, and some other more recent issues. From x-rays and CT scans, I was told that there were multiple issues with my right lung, including being partially collapsed, and there was a lot of uncertainty over exactly what was wrong and how bad the lung was. I was also told it may take two or more surgeries to resolve all the issues in my lung. I was told that Rick would be performing the first surgery, and everyone was telling me how good he was. Rick stopped by to see me the day before the surgery, and gave me the strait talk about what he would be doing in the surgery. The surgery was a huge success, and I was told that Rick was able to take care of all the issues in my lung, so that I would not need to have any more surgeries to resolve remaining issues. There were some post-surgery procedures, but they were non-surgical in nature, and did not last long at all. I started feeling 100% better days after the surgery, and was able to breathe deep without pain, and felt like my lung capacity greatly increased. I’m looking forward to living a normal prolonged life, now that my lung condition is getting back to normal, and living a full life without issues with my lung. I would recommend Rick for any type of surgery for lungs, heart or anything in the thoracic area.

Rick performed no less than a miracle to restore my health, and probably my life. I was admitted into the hospital with multiple issues on my right lung, including infections, partial collapse, tears, and more. Rick was able to take care of all the issues in a single surgery. My lung was actually in much worse shape than anyone had thought, but he was able to clean up and resolve all the issues with it. I was required to have some amount of post operational work done, but was not surgical in nature. I'm very grateful and thankful that Rick performed the needed work on my lungs, and am now feeling 100% better only after a week of the surgery. I'm also now looking forward to a much longer life without difficulty breathing and pain in my chest.
