This incredible achievement is the combination of 21 years of hard work, lots of sacrifices, persistence, and perseverance. But I did not achieve this milestone by myself. 1st, I thank God for putting me in this situation so I could help so many patients with their pain and suffering. I thank all my partners and colleagues who have trusted me with their patients. I have been blessed with incredible office staff who worked tirelessly to make sure that we could provide the proper care in a timely fashion, whether it is an appointment, an injection, or surgery. I have worked at a number of hospitals and surgery centers over the years. I thank all the nurses and the support staff who took care of my patients in all aspects of their care. And very importantly, I thank all the patients who have trusted me with their own or their loved ones care. I have been privileged to operate on patients from one hour to over 100 years old. I have operated on a broad spectrum of neurosurgical diseases including brain tumors, aneurysms, spinal stenosis, disk herniations, and helped many patients suffering from chronic pain. I have received so many touching letters, postcards, and comments. I hold them all close to my heart. A truly humbling experience.
