Dear Dr. Hey,
Thank you for the gift of Simone’s new stature. I didn’t believe I would ever see Simone shoulder to shoulder and as I look at her after three days of surgery she has the shoulders of a dancer. We are so happy with her results and we are blessed by God that He put her previously lean body into your upright care.
We can never thank you and your team enough.
There are no words to express our joy, gratitude, and adulation.
Forever standing tall,
The Wilson and Salandy Family
