There was such extensive nerve damage that doctors believed that she would never have full use of her hand again. Dr. Richard Harrison of First Choice Medical Group performed a delicate and complex surgery, which saved Felicita’s right hand  and she is now back doing what she loves – cooking up delicious dishes for her family. “I highly recommend Dr.Harrison as he is so expert and kind,” said Felicita’s daughter Myrna. “He took such good care of my mother and worked a miracle.”
