Dr. Chapman delivered all 3 of our children and a DC after a miscarriage. He performed a surgery when I had a ruptured appendix. He was an amazing doctor, so much more caring and passionate about his patients than any doctor I have had ever since. He fought with our insurance company for payment for our first child who was born 9 months and 4 days after our wedding (at that time, the insurance company wouldn't pay if the baby was conceived prior to marriage).

Sorry for your loss. He took me as a patient when I was having a difficult time with a pregnancy. I has so much respect for your Dad. I hated when he retired. Have not found a doctor that was like Dr. Chapman.
