Everyone from staff to both doctors Puteman and Rao saved me from dyer conditions when I barely walked into the emergency room. Today, life goes on with they done for me. Long couple few months to from start to healed very well. At 62, urinating like a 10 yr old! From peeing on your shoes to knocking over a fire truck in a wizzing contest. Joking aside, outcome has been that great. Thank you to all the staff too. It’s been a humbling experience
