    I'm so grateful for the wonderful experience and such a beautifully welcoming, and clean place!Every person that we came in contact with, from the response team when my husband fell to the person who helped us back out to the car was absolutely the best. I didn't feel as if I was invisibly searching for help. Dr. Victor Sung must be a one of a kind doctor. He was so knowledgeable, kind, caring, understanding, and patient. He didn't just tell us things or recommend something, he actually took the time to show us and make sure that we understood, using his own time to demonstrate and fit something to my husband's needs. He was everything that you wish every physician could be. Dr. Sung's fellow did the absolute best exam my husband has ever had! They both talked to us about things that no one ever had. What each of us had to say truly mattered and they actually took the time to consider what we were trying to say. The cruelty of Parkinson's is explicable and for the first time since this awful journey began, there was just a bit of time when I felt that someone understood what was happening to our lives. I wish that I could thank everyone for both of us.
