I'm so grateful God put Dr.Stanton in my path. He is my angel that saved my life. If it wasn't for him fixing the other Dr mess he had done too my leg i wouldn't be here. I was in a UTV accident 5 yrs ago, the UTV squashed my leg. The 1st Dr in McAllen did the surgery and I almost lost my life. I got a huge infection that caused my leg to get black n I was ill.Thats when Dr.Stanton comes in my path in saves my leg and me.Words can't explain how appreciative I am. But I thank God every day for blessing us with a special person that truly cares for people and will go above and beyond??

I recently developed a hernia due to an accident, and Dr. Lonnie Stanton was the surgeon who did the repair on me. His attitude was warm and caring, and he did a fantastic repair job. I was very fortunate to have him as the surgeon to work on me.
