I owe this man my life. I Was diagnosed with a lung tumor at the age of 18 and dr. love removed my tumor. Unfortunately two years later my body kept getting recurring infuctions where the tumor once was. we wanted to spare as much lung for my age at the time. Unfortunately dr. Love was not in Illinois that year so had another surgeon take out my upper lobe, he was suppose to be one of the top lung transplant surgeons in the Midwest but some how managed to rolly mess me up. I was now consider a “liability” you could say must doctors wouldn’t see me infacr Walgreens clinic refused to see me just for a simple cold but dr. Love was willing to go back inside me and fix someone else mess with no hesitation. I am now healthy again 10 years later. Him and his team are the most generous, caring people i have ever met.

He truly saved my life. In a delicate cardiopulmonary surgery, he successfully removed an anomalous part of my lung and aneurysmic artery branching off my aorta. He was both compassionate and direct in educating me about my surgery and recovery. He never rushed through my appointments, He always answered my questions. And he treated me with respect. His staff was superb. I am here today because of him.

He put me through extreme emotional and physical trauma. I sincerely care about others and never want anyone to endure the experiences I was put through.

. . . said the person who made my husband's first appointment, some 20 years ago. And we do. We owe my husband's life to him and his staff, literally and figuratively. You need lungs? You can't find a better guy!
