As a mom of a 9 year old who has had an artificial valve since she was 14 months old and a pacemaker since she was 2.5yo, I am eternally grateful to Dr Hauser for his dedication to patient advocacy. His integrity is unfortunately not so common anymore, but I, for one, am glad that he is as courageous as he is and fights for what is right. On behalf of my daughter, THANK YOU DR HAUSER!!
