Doctor Bingham has been taking care of me for as long I can remember. As a professional outdoorsman who has been the host of an Outdoor Television show for more than 35 years I HAVE TO have someone that not only is a caring Dr but one who thinks before they act. Dr. Bingham demonstrates that time after time. I have had some terrible accidents and countless surgeries. My job has been very demanding in both mental and physical actions that require my constant attention. Whether it is running a boat offshore in 15 foot seas, walking in tuff terrain chasing game or diving in some very dangerous waters. With this in mind, having someone like Dr. Bingham who not only treats me but at the same time helps me improve my physical and mental capacity to get me through the rigorous schedule that I sometimes experience. NOW, to top this off. This past October (2023) my wife experienced emergency surgery. She has never been in the hospital before and has only missed 2 days of work only because she has a severe case of pneumonia. She is not only a school teacher but is also a respected and well know member of the community who I of course I have been married to and love very deeply and admire. Back to October 2023. She fell in at our home and I have never seen her in so much pain (maybe with one of our 2 children) the second she didn’t have a problem not saying no to an epidural. Told you she tough. After not being able to see her in such pain we took off to the ER on a Sunday am after she had a terrible night. Without getting into much detail, a surgeon came to the er room and said he recommended surgery right away. The first thing that popped into my head was (IVE GOT TO TALK TO DR. BINGHAM BEFORE ANYTHING WHATSOEVER IS GOING TO OR NEEDED TO TAKE PLACE, it wasn’t but a few minutes that I was able to talk to him. He assured me that, after explaining things to him, said he is fine with the surgery being done. The surgeon came back in our room for the second time and my wife and I were able to say “let’s do it”! While saying goodbye (but not for long) to her in pre op I assured her that things will be fine and I will see her in just a little while. This was a Sunday and as I made myself towards the very large waiting room, there was no one else and all the lights were off. I felt my heart drop even more and felt like I was entering a deep and dark forest with many scary things waiting to happen. As I was sitting there falling apart by myself, we have no other family close around except her father and he was already in the hospital himself with heart problems, I immediately starts praying for the surgeon hands to work with the upmost experience and the surgical team all work as if they were in the Super Bowl themselves. As I was praying, remember the dark room, the giant dark room, I saw a image waking towards in the hall from the front entrance of the hospital to the surgery waiting room. it was Dr. Bingham! There is really nothing more to say. Dr. Bingham has always been there for me especially when I needed medical attention and annual recommendations. No surprise (AT ALL) he was there at one of the darkest and scariest times I have ever experienced! My wife is doing great! I’m doing great! What more can I ask from a Dr who not only is my physician but a person that I greatly respect and admire but most importantly, TRUST with my well being. ###please edit as necessary. I’m not the greatest writer but I’m sure you know what I am feeling. Thanks.
