Patient Reviews
Dec 20, 2020
There once was a boy who had a mind that operated years beyond himself. His life required it. He was lost in this world and all of his guides were equally lost. The details are not important after 42 years. Suffice to say that when he tried to end this gift of life, he ultimately landed at Mesa Vista Hospital under the care of Dr Richard Buccigross. I was 12. It was 1978. Things got worse before I grew into myself but the trajectory of my life became forever changed. The amazing care that I recieved over the following year or so created the belief that I could do better and be better if I simply worked at it. There is power in forgiveness. I am now 54 and I have been blessed with an incredible life. Several lives really. I am grateful. I have Love and peace because of the hope which I discovered with the help of this man. Thank you Dr. Buccigross for saving my lives. Mickey Brady
