Dr. Edgerton, whom we had the privilege of knowing from a previous procedure, became Raymond's doctor.

Recognizing the potential risks, Dr. Edgerton wasted no time in recommending surgery to remove the tumor, ensuring it didn't spread further. His transparent communication and genuine concern for Raymond's well-being eased our fears during this uncertain time.

Throughout the procedure, Dr. Edgerton's professionalism and dedication shone brightly. He kept us informed every step of the way, never leaving room for confusion or doubt. Despite the potential for cancer, Dr. Edgerton's expertise and decisive action resulted in a successful surgery, eliminating the need for chemotherapy.

The morning after surgery, Raymond's triumphant fist pump spoke volumes about Dr. Edgerton's skill and the positive outcome. We prayed through our worries and grasped at the hope that God instilled within us all during this trying time. We're thankful for Dr. Edgerton emphasis on instilling confidence within his patients, this is a direct reflection of what we all got a hands-on experience of his humility and dedication to his craft. Dr.

Edgerton's unwavering commitment to his patients, exemplified by his caring demeanor and meticulous approach, fills us with gratitude and assurance. We can't thank the staff on the fourth floor enough for guiding not only ourselves but our extended family through this trying time. They were attentive with every detail as well as comforting.
