“When our sister and niece sat in the ICU frozen with fear and grief, Dr. Michael Black stepped in, and shook them from their catatonic state. He gently forced them to engage themselves in the process and the solutions of our grand-nephew's care.  We are certain that this infant would not have survived, had it not been for the brilliant insight, knowledge and care that Dr. Black shared with our family. His talent and generosity can only be rewarded by the Angels.”

“As the former Vice President of Marketing for Computer Motion (now Intuitive Surgical), I routinely collaborated with the most prestigious cardiac and general surgeons in the world. Dr. Michael Black is a hero  among this amazing group of surgeons. He operates on the smallest of patients using specialized tools, many of which he invented. He was the first pediatric surgeon in the world to utilize a surgical robot to allow never before accomplished minimally invasive cardiac surgery on infants. Dr. Black also has the honor of being the surgeon who has successfully operated on the smallest infant in history. These are only a few of his accomplishments. In collaborating with Dr. Black for over ten years, I grow more impressed with his skills and dedication every day.”
