"Dr. Joyman did a terrific job on the surgery. It seems totally successful. He and his office were available for questions and to answer concerns pre- and post surgery. He took quite a bit of time discussing options and the extent of the procedure. I felt totally confident in his care."

"On Saturday evening, September 10th, you performed an aortic dissection on my dada, Lyle Zimmerman, and treated him in the ICU for two weeks. As I write, I find it difficult putting into words how grateful and thankful my family and I were at the time and continue to be for what you did for him.

We still talk about how thorough, caring and sensitive you were explaining what had been going on in his body, what the surgical procedure consisted of, you shared the success of your father's surgery and what we could expect post operatively. During the procedure my mom and I prayed so much but there was also a calmness knowing how comfortable we felt with my dad in your hands.

When you completed his surgery at 10:30 PM, your third major surgery that da, you came to where my mom and I were waiting, and knowing how exhausted you had to have been, you still discussed how dad was with such great comfort, patience and compassion.

His post op experience had its hiccups which we were aware could happen with a 90-year-old man considering all his body was going through, but your care and compassion were unwavering. My mom was growing weaker and no matter how my dad's health progressed, you knew we wanted him home. You identified a window when he was stable enough to make the trip back to Iowa and you made it happen.

Since his discharge, he was in a rehabilitation center for three weeks and breezed through it, then home care which has been discontinued already. The cardiac Physiologist performed tests and said not only was a miracle performed in Denver, but he didn't need a pacemaker at this time either. We thank God for the miracle YOU performed.

You said to wait until December to really assess how well he's doing. Other than a few minor cognitive moments and his new obsession with bowel movements (yikes), he is doing great! Thankfully he doesn't remember much about his ICU experience, but he remembers YOU and "that beautiful sport coat" you were wearing.

It brings tears to my eyes thinking how happy I am heading back to oIowa in a couple of weeks to spend Christmas with him ... a miracle for sure and I thank God for gifting you with the hands, the wisdom and compassion to be the wonderful surgeon you were to my dada and family.

Wishing you, your family and staff a healthy, happy RELAXING and enjoyable holiday season. You all deserve it, and we cannot thank you enough!"
