I am a nurse. I know the how and why for what we do. I also know that sometimes we become too used to it and fail to realize the impact of what we do.

Dr. Rodgers was truly a godsend he explained everything to me regarding my condition & he even recommended to me what he would do if he were me & that was very helpful! He also performed the ultrasound on my thyroid himself & I made a comment about how much I appreciated that & he said it's important for him as the one performing the surgery to see himself what's going on firsthand before he goes in.
