Patient Reviews
Jul 12, 2020
I always liked Dr. Uribe. Common senses approaches. When I first met him years ago he told me to keep walking, go to Hawk Mt. I did and climbed to the top. Years later . . . "Faulty genes load the gun, but lifestyle pulls the trigger. " Unfortunately, my husband is a two tour Vietnam vet who never received benefits. Fighting for 5 years now. He has head, neck, tongue cancer from Agent Orange. Also TBI from service. They say the caregiver usually goes first. I am hoping Dr. Uribe can do his best because of my delay, so I can continue to care for MY HERO. It has not been easy to TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF. I know. I had NO HELP and I mean NO HELP. Family has disappeared. He is isolated. God Bless Dr. Uribe and staff. COVID did not help!!!!!!!!!!!! We are both in isolation do to health.
