He took care of my daughter Vicki with such wonderful and loving care. Dr Coates took care of heer because she had Rhabdomyosarcoma and later in treatment developed osteogenic sarcoma. we loved and appreciated the care and friendship he gave. Vicki was able to call him and hear his voice before she passed in 1995.
