I used to be a patient at CSC

December 12, 2022

Recently, we received a note from a young woman who had surgery seven years ago by Dr. Fred and his surgical team. They visit twice annually from Toulouse, France to perform free maxillo-facial consultations and surgery.

She said: “I want to make a donation in return of your kindness. I was there five or six years ago and had surgery on my face. Back then my family was so poor. Without your free of charge treatment, I wouldn’t be able to go out with the confidence like I do now.
