Physician Testimonials

“Patients participating in this program come into the operating room calmer, and less afraid. They have recovery goals in mind and they are already striving to meet them.  This program empowers patients at a time when they otherwise would be feeling helpless.”

“Patients anticipating surgery often perceive their role as an intrinsically passive one.  On the other hand, many of my patients who participated in this program tell me that it helped them recover from their operation with a sense of self-control and even a feeling of accomplishment.”
 Howard Liang, MD
Assistant Professor, General Surgery

“We perform complex brain tumor operations that generally even the calmest patients confront with some trepidation. Our most anxious patients seem to benefit the most from this program. I now recommend it to all my patients having tumor surgery.”
