Jun 13, 2024
If it weren't for Dr. Childs I would not be here today. Most Drs. would not have taken the time during examination - even drawing pictures of what was found. It turned out to be a melanoma on my retina. Dr. Childs personally arranged for me to see a Retinologist the next morning. This was almost 20 years ago & I am still here! My gratitude is beyond words. THANK YOU.
