President George HW Bush President Bush was so gracious and thankful for the care provided for Ranger's hip problem.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Thank you for everything that you did for our baby. Fixing his hips gave us 6 more beautiful years with him. It is very rare these days to find doctors who actually care about what they do and that was obvious when we first met you. Keep up the good work."

"Your kindness will always be remembered and appreciated."

---Our dog, Shakespeare

Just a note to update you on Amber and to share some photos. As you may recall, Amber’s left hip was replaced by you 4 ½ years ago. At that time she was jogging unleashed approximately five miles a day with me. She is still very active and continues to run “free spirit” five or so miles each weekday. A rough estimate of her mileage since her hip replacement is 5,800 miles.

Amber’s weight has remained at 60-62 pounds since she became an adult. She is a wonderful dog and one of the lovers of my life that has been given a second chance because of your skills. Amber and I thank you very much.

I just wanted to take a moment to let you know how well Bosco is doing. She is completely back to her old “ornery” self, and I wish you could see how fat and sleek and beautiful she is!

There are doctors, and then there are people who care who also happen to be doctors. You fall in the latter category. I firmly believe that she would not have lived had it not been for your tenacity, skill, and caring spirit. Thank you so much for all you did for us – there’s a special place in heaven for guys like you. Sincerely,

…Kendra

I want to thank you for doing everything you could for “my Girl” and trying to fix her. I should have brought her in years ago when her chances of a successful surgery would have been so much better. I just didn’t know…

Sunshine truly was the sunshine in my life. I will never forget you and the kindness you gave to us.

With greatest respect and appreciation,

Thank you so much for your excellent treatment, and loving care for ‘Elka’ recently. She has recovered completely and is presently setting in the back yard with me. She’s a beautiful, and healthy companion she once was. I could never repay, or thank you enough for saving her twice now. Warm regards,

Your award from Iowa State University is truly a well

deserved honor. You have proven yourself to be a

surgeon/doctor who is not only skilled, professional,

and capable but also caring and nurturing.

Missy would not be walking, running, playing, and actually

jumping had it not been for your amazing skills

and knowledge.

Thank you and once again, Congratulations.

I just read about the American Veterinary Medical Association Award you received and wanted to say how nice it felt to say I have met you. It is a great thing you are doing for animals. Keep up the great work and way to go! Congratulations!

We wanted to thank you for what you have done for Shadow. When you called me the day of his surgery and told me you put him back together the best that you could, my immediate thought was that your best would far exceed what anyone else could have possibly done for Shadow. J

You have truly been blessed with a very unique gift, the ability to perform intricate orthopedics surgeries. We know that Shadow came very close to losing his front leg because of the severity of the fracture. We are very grateful you had the expertise to put him back together. Shadow has his leg today because of you. He is a fortunate cat to have had you as his surgeon. Thanks so very much for taking care of Shadow. We truly appreciate your time and efforts. God’s blessings to you.

We’re taken Gretchen to a new vet in Georgia & Gretchen is doing great since we last saw you and is completely back to her old self again. I know the reason she’s well again is because you did such a great job of performing her surgery and I know choosing the right Dr. had a lot to do with her prognosis. Thanks again.

We are looking forward to many ‘Newt’ adventures in 2015, many of which wouldn’t be [possible without the hip replacement.
