    Dr. Sara Doernberg is an excellent infectious disease doctor. We met her through the hospitalization and have asked her to follow my husband since. The situation is unusual, and she has never ceased to dig deep for root of infection, and best steps forward. He isn't just an excellent position, she is an extraordinary human being.
