What Our Patients Are Saying
“I have never seen such a devoted group of people in all my life. I can’t say enough about Jefferson’s doctors and nurses.
They let you know exactly what was happening and what to expect.… I’m an avid reader and usually have three books going at
once. But my liver disease got so bad it was affecting my cognitive function — I couldn’t comprehend what I was reading.Two
weeks after my transplant, I could read again. … I thank God every day for this operation and the Jeff liver team. I’m alive,
and I’ll be able to see my grandchildren grow.”
– Thelma McKeown, Penndel, PA “Since the transplant, I feel like I’m a new person. I grew so used to feeling sick, I can really appreciate how well I feel
now. And I value things differently – I don’t let the small things get to me. The Jeff transplant team was great – very caring
and lovable people. They’ve become my friends.”
– Broderick Barber, Hamilton, NJ“Liver disease is so debilitating. But when I woke up from surgery, my mind was 100 percent clear, like it used to be when
I was a kid. The care I received at Jeff was absolutely phenomenal. The doctors and nurses – even the people who transported
you – were wonderful. They were very professional, knew their stuff, and took good care of me. I’m alive and can do everyday,
normal things: visit with friends, drive the car, go to the beach, the store, wherever.”
– Patrick Johnson, Marlton, NJ

living with Hepatitis C for several years, she was growing acclimated to the slow decline that chronic liver disease was causing
to her body.
