This guy has removed two tumors from my brain. He is better than this video makes him look. He gives everything to his patients. Truly the most wonderful man I have ever met

@berniesol No se si sea muy tarde mi respuesta pero lo que puedes hacer es llamar al hospital de John's Hopking que se encuentra en Baltimore, Maryland de los Estados Unidos. El numero del hospital lo puedes encontrar en Google. De alli ellos talvez te puedan transferir con el doctor directamente.

Te deseo mucha suerte!

@dinfg6 Immigrants are more likely to set up small businesses and take Science and Engineering classes in Community college, Universities and Grad schools compared to US Born citizens. I see native born White Americans and Black Americans in my state begging near freeway on ramps begging for money and complaining that they are college educated and homeless. Most of the College educated people that I see are complaing that they are homeless are English majors and they scape goat immigrants.

@belindalucero Thank you Dr. Quinones for telling me as a second generation American to work hard not pre-judge immigrants. Look at My parents they came to America Illigally from the Philippines and they tell me to work hard and study hard so you can be successful in any country not just USA, Mexico, or the Philippines. I live in California and the radio propagandists here tell me that Illegals from China, Vietnam, Mexico, Honduras and Philippines steal jobs from Americans. That is not true

As an immigrant and latina, I am very happy to have role models in medicine like Dr. Quinones. I aspired to not just a be good doctor, but the best I can possible be. I want to be a role model to students from different races and socio-economic backgrounds. With hard work and perseverance, anything is possible. Each day, we are closer to achieving the American Dream !

[LtMartins1970]

I wonder what he thinks about the Dream act!

Wow, I'm shedding tears.  Someone needs to make a movie on this man's life!
