Dr. David McCall and Dr. Freeland Ackley went above and beyond the call of duty as surgeons—all the way to war-torn Ukraine to lend their expertise and help save lives. The duo credits their faith in spurring them to try to find a way to help those suffering in Ukraine. 🇺🇦

“God opened the door and gave us the opportunity,” Dr. McCall said.

Joining up with a relief organization, they went on a medical mission trip to Odesa, the third-largest city in Ukraine. Though they weren’t on the front lines, it was not uncommon for them to hear sirens at night and rockets flying overhead.

In addition to performing surgeries for both soldiers and civilians, they were able to teach new techniques to doctors in Ukraine and consult on their cases. The surgeons made connections that they hope will lead to future trips and open doors to bring in other aid organizations. They both hope to be able to return to Ukraine soon and help in any way that is needed.

Each returned to the US with a new perspective on life here at home.

“It’s the realization of how much we have to be grateful for, and how guilty I am of complaining about the most trivial things,” Dr. Ackley said.

•Announcement from Dr. Sadler•

I am excited to inform you about a change in my practice which will take place October 1, 2018. At that time I will transition to a new practice site, Baylor Scott & White Signature Medicine – North Garland, a different care model that will focus on increased personalized service for my patients. My new office will be located on the 2nd floor of the new North Garland medical office building. My new practice will have considerably fewer patients and will allow me to focus on providing more personalized, accessible care to those I serve. In my new practice model I will see only a limited number of patients who agree to pay a yearly membership fee.

Baylor Scott & White Family Medical Center - North Garland has recruited a new physician to help continue care for my patients deciding not to transition to the new practice, Dr. Lathmany Dorfman, who joined the practice in July. In addition, Dr. Christina Vera will join Murphy and Dr. Alexandra Elko will join North Garland this fall to further expand primary care options.

I have considered it a great honor and a great responsibility to care for those who have entrusted their health to me over the years. It is only with a great deal of reflection and effort that I have come to this decision.

Sincerely,
Jane Sadler, MD

Dr. Sadler has joined the Murphy team!

Dr. Jane Sadler has relocated to our Murphy office. If you have an appointment scheduled, please be sure to go see her at 511 W. FM 544, Ste 204, Murphy, TX. She may be at a new place, but the high quality care she provides will never change!!
