"This commendation goes to the team effort of three specific individuals that made it possible for me to continue to walk and live a normal unrestricted life. It started with the keen skills of Dr. Brian Halpern who instantly recognized that my sudden onset of shin splints was a serious lower back problem that had developed. I was training at 65 to take my first vacation in years to go climbing in the Alps."

"Dr. Khormaee is an excellent doctor, perhaps tied with an earlier internist of mine who was known to the large medical community as "The Emperor" because of his diagnostic and referral capabilities."
