I read Dr. Bircher’s bio on the TCO website before I scheduled an appointment with him. I am very impressed. On the day of our surgery, as I was being prepped, he came in to greet me and asked me how I was doing. I told him I was very scared, and I started crying. I told him I prayed for him that morning. He said, “Well, we’re going to do that again.” Just like that, he wrapped me up in his arms and prayed to God that He would direct his hand.
Twice, he called me at home after the surgery to see how I was doing. Now that is what I call bedside manner. Today, I had my final meeting with him. When he came into my room, I stood up and greeted him and told him, “I am so grateful to you. I am so grateful that God gave you the skills and knowledge.” He wrapped me up and gave me another hug. How can anybody be scared of a surgeon who is going to be praying like that and caring for you? This guy is top-notch!
