Testimonials

Salina from Jordan

  • From the moment we talked to Dr. Jimenez we knew in our hearts we were meant to travel and see him. He took great care of our daughter and we will forever be grateful.

    Salina's Mom, Dana

Beau from Tennessee 

  • We are so thankful for Dr. Jimenez, Dr. Yates, Dr. Bae and all of the nurses and hospitals staff that took care of Beau and all the nurses and hospital staff that took care of Beau during such a scary time for us! We were confident that Beau was being taken care of in surgery and afterwards and as a parent, that peace of mind can be the difference in a positive and negative experience. Ours was definitely positive!

    Beau's Mom, Holly

Alvaro from El Paso 

  • We were blessed to meet Dr. Jimenez who took care of our child. At the time, we had to drive to San Antonio over a year ago. And to now know he is El Paso helping so many families and making this journey with our sons appointments easier since he is on our backyard.

    Alvaro's Mom, Jazmin
