Our 20-year-old daughter suffered a severe traumatic brain injury as a result of a fall. She was struggling with her cognitive abilities and as a family we were hoping to find someone who could challenge her abilities, yet not overwhelm her. Dr. David expressed hope for us and then began treating her with patience and deliberative guidance. His kind and calm demeanor was so helpful in gaining her trust and helped her to want to work hard and challenge herself. He was able to tell when her brain was really tired and when she was ready to be pushed cognitively. As the weeks progressed, we could see that she gained a comfort level and seemed to really sharpen her cognitive skills. While her growth continues, our daughter has come a long way with Dr. David. With traumatic brain injuries there are always questions of how much one can gain back. Dr. David has helped guide, focus, and sharpen her abilities and we’ve seen real results that give us hope for the long term-future. We are forever grateful.
Dear Dr. David:
We want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping Laura and us in our greatest time of need and a time of great pain. We miss hearing your voice and music. Laura is making incredible progress, especially considering the severity of her accident. There was a huge possibility she wasn’t going to survive and she had a Glasgow Coma Scale score of 3 — so many skull fractures, too many to name — and no brain stem activity in the first three days of her coma. So, her progress is nothing short of miraculous. Thank you, thank you, thank you again. We will check in and let you know how she is doing on her two academic classes this semester and how she does in the future. She got 100% on her first environmental science quiz.
Thank you again,
The Mitchells
