Dr. Degene has taken the time and effort to find out what works best to keep me out of the hospital and most importantly off the ventilator. It's been a very long battle and I can say that without him I don't know if I would be here. He's very patient and caring. I have to say that it was comforting to awaken and see him at my bedside.
