Dr. Michael Herrera . . .

Mike completed his Family Practice Residency training progam tonight with a wonderful graduation ceremony and program. He received an award as Chief Resident, but he was also awarded the "Resident Teacher of the Year" which is a great honor and tribute to him. One thing that touched my heart was hearing what his patient's said about him and how they loved and appreciated his care and concern for them. I even learned that he has one couple who travels 4 hours each way just to see him in the Residency Clinic. That makes a mom proud and brought a tear to my eye!

We didn't take any formal pictures, but I wanted to share a couple of Mike with the kids. Melissa and his family have sacrificed so much these past eleven years to finally see all of this hard work pay off. But Mike has always made sure that his family comes first. He will be opening his own practice in Gilbert, Arizona and I'm sure he will continue with the same care and compassion he has given during his Residency. So, from the bottom of my heart . . . Mike, congratulations for a job well done! I love you!
