"Your care, skills, knowledge, compassion and support proved to make a complicated surgery much easier than we ever could have imagined! Now, just 3 months post-surgery, the change in my daily life is nothing short of a miracle."
– Jennifer Mullinix, PTE Patient, Georgia
"I am back to running 2 to 3 miles and working out 3 to 4 days a week. From beginning to end, the process was seamless. My experience at UC San Diego Health was beyond what I had expected. I would highly recommend others to come here for their care."
– Christopher Dawdy, BPA Patient, Colorado
"I went on a high-altitude hike to a volcano with my friends and brought along a banner to thank the UC San Diego Health team for saving my life. I feel just as grateful today as I did the moment I woke up and was told I was cured."
– Dario Mendoza, PTE Patient, Mexico
