Hi, Dr. Turks is a beautiful, beautiful doctor. John is a beautiful nurse. Everybody else is good, and I have no complaints, and I thank God for Dr. Turks in my life. And that's all I have to say. He's an excellent, excellent doctor that has perfect hands-on, and he knows what he's doing when he does what he does.
