I was a patient of Dr. James for over twenty years, he was loved & respected by those that he cared for and will never be forgotten. One could clearly see that he made each and everyone feel special with his level of care. I was one of those patients that would often say "I just Love Dr. James" & my bar was set with him after moving from NY. To the family, you had a very special man in your life & I sincerely hope that you can find comfort in the many memories you have to share. Just know that many of us share in your loss. My sincere condolences to his loved ones.
