Testimonials
“
I want to formally say "Thanks" for allowing me in the exo-skeleton program. It was a good experience. I got a lot out of participating and I hope it helps your future research. I tried my hardest.
Please convey my heartfelt "thanks" to the entire staff who all helped me.
Specially Hannah, Denis, Dr Kornfeld , Melissa Ramirez and Esmeralda in the PT/OT clinic.
Final note: If and when I can view / or access the documentary, I am eager to see it, and so are my family and close friends.
Enjoy the spring, stay well,
regards
Tim T
P.S. You may share my note with anyone in the VA system- you deserve a pat on the back.
