BREVARD COUNTY • MELBOURNE, FLORIDA — Mrs. Billie Rae Harris has been a patient of Dr. Marja Sprock for several years and could not be happier with the results.

Billie will soon be volunteering at Holmes Regional Hospital and helping out on a political presidential campaign.

Her son Eric and daughter Trish, both live in the Washington D.C area.

Surrounded by friends and neighbors in her retirement community, Billie now enjoys an active lifestyle including “about 20 laps in the swimming pool every day, or every other day depending on how I’m feeling” says the diminutive Harris.

Lost Husband To Cancer

It has not all been smooth sailing for Harris over the past several years. “I lost my dear husband of 38 years last April. He was in hospice during his last months and the people were so kind”

Harris has also suffered from some “pressure in the bladder area” and sought out the best female doctor that she could find in the early stages of her complaint.

“I went to a doctor in Melbourne and he said that he was too busy and could not really help me.

Then I visited with Dr. Marja Sprock and I am so glad that I did”

Caring and Special Health Care

“Dr. Sprock seemed so sensitive to my issues and not only understood my health issue but she also understood my emotional and mental state”.

Harris was suffering from a bladder issue that is typical in ladies her age.

“Dr. Sprock identified the issue, explained all my options clearly and gave me a very good and comfortable feeling with moving forward with the surgery to correct the problem”

“It was a one-day surgery at Wuesthoff in Melbourne and my recovery time was only 6 weeks and with very little discomfort.
