I was in complete shock at the articles on Dr. Orlando Cano being charged with sexual harassment. I have been a patient of Dr. Cano for l7 years. If not for Dr. Cano, I would not have my two children I have now.

After the other doctors wanted me to have a hysterectomy at age 26, he did all the infertility tests and procedures for me to conceive. The day of my scheduled C-section for my daughter, he was at the airport returning home from a family member's funeral in South America. He busted in the operating room telling me he had not forgotten me. He was so emotionally exhausted from the trip, but he was there for me.

Another physician could have easily taken his place, but it was him that was there with me, from beginning to end. I thank God for Dr. Cano, because he is what a true physician is about, truly caring for a patient's mental, emotional, and physical well-being. He has also performed a hysterectomy on me years later. I would not think twice of going to him for any procedures.
