    Dr Stapfer, Dr Liu, and their staff are the reason that John is still alive! They provided excellent care, surgical miracles, and the encouragement to keep moving forward and back to health! My questions were always answered fully. There was always calming and encouraging words for me when I could not see the light at the end of the tunnel. Truly, they are the BEST medical team we dealt with in this long medical journey.
