5Patient Review
I had a lobectomy done in April 17, 2014. I was in great care by Dr. Abosch and staff for the 21 days I was in the hospital. Everything leading up to my surgery was explained to me thoroughly so that I understood what all was being done. I will never forget how well not only myself was cared for but also my husband for being there with me. I often wonder to this day what Dr. Abosch and her team has learned from my right temporal lobe by chopping it up. I still think it would of made a cool night light or just give someone a piece of my mind. To this
