    • Monica Redmond, Washington 05.20.20

      Dr. Dick performed the liver transplant for my daughter, alongside Dr. Healey, when she was 9-months-old. My daughter is now doing amazingly well and full of energy. Dr. Dick also performed the abdomen closure and my daughter’s scar is absolutely beautiful. I was told by our hepatologist that she may only have a trace of a scar when she’s older. It is truly evident that Dr. Dick is a very meticulous surgeon and artfully skilled. We got to know Dr. Dick during the 3.5 months my daughter was very sick in the ICU and he is among the most modest and kind-hearted doctors. He sincerely cared for our daughter and she loved his gentle nature too. What a privilege to have had him as our surgeon!
