19 yrs ago, when my younger daughter was 6 weeks old, it was discovered that she had Pyloric Stenosis. Dr. Falterman did surgery on her and saved her life. Today, she is a freshman at LSU and one of the two reasons (she and her sister) I fought cancer and a fatal liver disease and underwent a liver transplant. She is one of the lights in my life and I would recommend him to anyone and would would trust him with a loved one's life any day of the week. He's a wonderful surgeon.
