Dear Dr Diethrich, Thank you for using the drive, intelligence, and humanitarianism GOD gave you, to help people like me at AHI. I had a double arterial blockage that would have been impossible except for the skills, innovative thinking, and research that GOD made available to me in 2005. HE saved my life through your work, and willingness to teach other great surgeons who learned from you. Richard V Peninger

Dr. Diethrich was the best doctor I had the privilege of working with. He never gave up on a patient, was always willing to go that extra mile. He will truly be missed.

I served as pilot and video engineer for his organization for 10 years. His videos showed a master at work. If anybody were to cut on my heart, it would have been him.

I had the privilege of working at AHI for five years with Dr. Diethrich and his family of staff. I always am very proud of my time there. Dr. Diethrich was a brilliant and generous man with awe-inspiring skills and talent. He will be missed. Rest in piece Dr. D.

I had the honor and priveliege of working for Dr Diethrich for 18 years and being a part of the AHI family. Which I will always be. We were a team and a family. It was amazing and wonderful and I will forever be proud and grateful .

A special man with a heart of gold. May everyone be so lucky to have embraced Ted in their lives.
With All My Love,

The elder woman was so taken at his...
