“They tell you in medical school not to focus on the disease and forget about the patient. Julia has a way of making you forget about the disease. She always finds the game in an obstacle and the life between the symptoms. It was my great honor to help her keep seeing things her way for a long, long time.” 
— Dr. Ryan Ridges
