As an employee of Richmond Bone and Joint Clinic, I hold our group of doctors in the highest regard. Our doctors are extremely well-qualified and approachable. They work well together and consult one another. I have always felt comfortable bringing myself and my family to RBJC for treatment.
On August 14, 2008, because she had back pain, I brought my then 6-year-old daughter Emma to see Dr. Liang. He did a physical exam, got x-rays, and consulted with Dr. Etminan, one of RBJC’s spine specialists, who recommended an MRI. Everything looked normal and pointed toward muscle strain/sprain. Our visit could have ended there, with some samples of anti-inflammatories and recommendation of a heating pad. But it didn’t.
Drs. Liang and Etminan went the extra mile, with Dr. Liang asking about Emma’s pain tolerance, considering her usually bubbly personality, and assessing her coloring. STAT blood work was recommended, to be on the safe side.
Imagine how I felt when Dr. Etminan called me at home less than two hours later to tell me that Emma’s lab work was suspicious. He insisted that we go immediately to Texas Children’s Hospital and assured me they would admit her for a full work-up. He and his nurse helped me get all of Emma’s records together and even gave me directions to the hospital.
On August 18, 2009, Emma was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. At the hospital, we were told how fortunate we were that her labs were drawn so early and that Emma had only been in pain for 1 day before beginning the diagnosis process. It is much more routine for kids to have pain or fever for weeks before labs are finally recommended.
Drs. Liang and Etminan played a pivotal role in getting my daughter’s cancer diagnosed quickly, and with an absolute minimum of suffering. As an employee, I am proud to be a part of RBJC. As a patient, I have assurance that I am in considerate, capable hands. Most importantly, as a Mommy, I am forever grateful.
