      I came to see the doctor in WHE and he introduced me to the stem cell treatment. They took the stem cells from my bone marrow and fat and he injected them and it has been fabulous. I don’t have the aches and pains that I used to suffer from on a constant day to day basis. I would highly recommend it to anybody who’s looking for a remedy to their back pain and their aching joints.

      I had a medial right knee compartment surgery at World health expert with the surgical staff. I returned to work 10 days after the surgery. My profession requires me to walking, bending and standing for extended periods of time. I was able to complete my work with little discomfort. The staff and the doctors of WHE went out of their way to complete the arrangements for the surgery on very short notice.

      My life was going amazing. But when I had a lump in my breast checked out, the diagnosis about knocked the breath out of me. I learned my cancer was Stage 3.

      World Health Expert became my second family and I will treasure their friendship always. My wife had a call from the hospital that a liver had been procured and I was scheduled for surgery. I cannot begin to thank all of the wonderful members of the WHE. It would not be wrong to say that I was saved by the World Health Expert. You can visit the hospital and leave everything on them.

      I traveled to the World Health Expert and met with a medical oncologist who would become my rock throughout my treatment. His recommendation was four rounds of chemotherapy followed by radiation therapy. World Health Expert was a place for healing. The atmosphere there was soothing and compassionate. My doctor, nurses and so many others there became my caregivers.

      WHE replaced both my hips and the result is nothing short of miraculous. I was back home after surgery in 2 days. Other than a small 3 inch scar, you would never know I had hip surgery. I was free of pain from my first day home. The prescribed physical therapy returned me to full mobility within just a few weeks and allowed me to return to all of my pre-surgery sports and activities.

      After my bypass procedure, I didn’t feel a thing. I remember asking the nurse if they had done anything. After a few days of rehabilitation and physical therapy, I’m now back to climbing the stairs to my suite. If you think your heart could use some help, World Health Expert is a great place to turn. The hospital offers advanced diagnostic technology, cardiac rehabilitation, and more.

      I traveled to WHE who performed a minimally invasive mitral valve repair, making a two-inch incision through my right side and successfully fixing the leak. I was walking on my own the next day and left the hospital just two days later. It was such a positive experience. Everyone from the compassionate nurses and technicians who cared for me, to the welcoming environment.
