I worked for Dr. GM in the late 80's at Oklahoma Hand Surgery Center. He was truly a pioneer in his field and a blessing to work for. He was always willing to teach you anything you wanted to learn. I watched numerous minor surgical procedures in his office and it was mesmerizing to watch him work ! I look back on my time with Dr. GM with great fondness and really miss those times in the office. My heart and my condolences go out to Susan and the rest of the family. He was a remarkable man!
