Hi Mar,

Thanks for sharing a great article on the facts of MMD.

What I noticed is the number of MM surgeries Dr. Steinberg has performed.  When he operated on Kevin two years ago he had performed about 200 surgeries on MM patients. Now he has performed 400....double the amount! WOW! Dr. Steinberg is averaging about 100 surgeries a year on MM patients. Goes to show just how prevelant MMD is and how many have made their way to Dr. Steinberg and the MMD Center at Stanford.

Thanks again for sharing the article.  I made a copy for my folder. lol!  By the way, that folder is getting thick.

Hugs,

Lore
