I was so impressed with Dr. DeBruin because she listened and met all my concerns. For instance, I was deeply concerned about the length of my leg. She had another doctor with the most updated technology to make that happen and I could not be happier that my legs are even and that made my recovery so much quicker. So I just want to shout out to formally thank Dr DeBruin!
