UH HOSPITALS AND CLINICS
I greatly appreciated Dr. Sheba John taking the time to explain my condition and for answering my many questions. I also appreciated the time that Dr. Cox spent in drawing pictures and providing information on the most current methods and treatments for my condition. Together, they created for me, a more positive outlook for my future and the management of my disease.
