Miracles In Motion: Melanie

“I want to own my own bakery someday. I want to make it so that it has food for people who have food allergies or sensitivities or any kinds of diet problems. I would like the bakery to be located in Melbourne because I don’t want to leave home. But one thing is for sure: I’m definitely not leaving Florida because I can’t leave Dr. Islam. I don’t trust anyone else to do my surgeries.” – Melanie, Patient at UF Health Shands Children’s Hospital
