So many stories. So much gratitude. Thank you will never be enough, but we share our stories so that others will know just how much Dr. Campbell means to us. We are #veptrstrong because of him.

"Our first visit with Dr Campbell we knew he was the one to care for our Audra. He was so kind and gentle and didn't even need x-rays to say yeah I bet she is in pain and we are gonna fix that. The love he showed my family will never be forgotten."

"I think we all owe this man more than we can ever repay. I know he saved Joey’s life. At 3 years old the other doctors told us there wasn’t much we could do for him but wait and see, which would have meant death. Our family is so grateful for him and those magic hands and big brain. I just hope he knew all the families he touched."
-Ashley Moore
"We will always be grateful for this wonderful man. I will never forget the day we flew to San Antonio and met with him, Dr. Smith and Lori. I was scared and uncertain of her future. Although he gave us no promises, I felt like we finally had hope and we were in great hands. The VEPTR was not FDA approved yet but we all knew it was her only chance. What a journey we started back in 2002 but oh so worth it. Lacey was 3 yrs old and 18 lb. and He nicknamed her Big Red. Thank you Dr Campbell for the love and dedication you gave to your 6th floor Rib Kids. You will be so missed! Prayers for the Campbell family and the VEPTR families!"

"The thing he always said that stuck with me when I asked him what Ryan could and couldn’t do: “I can always fix a broken rod, but I can’t fix a broken spirit.” Based on those words, Ryan has done, and can do, almost anything she puts her mind to. She just swam in her first swim meet last week when so many told us she never would. I will be forever thankful that this man came into our lives."

"Words can't explain what this incredible man means to our extended family. When my son was 6 weeks old, we took him to San Antonio to meet Dr's Campbell and Smith. When we got there, Jordan coded in the lobby at Santa Rosa Hospital. After a nerve-wracking trip to the ER we met Dr. Campbell for the 1st time. He looked at Jordan and in a one second, he said... Jeunes Syndrome.. we can help! I am sure there are so many stories like this on how Dr. C has changed our children's lives forever. God Bless Dr. Campbell, RIP."

"" '-"Although Ian technically was not one of Dr. Campbell patient's, he was part of the FDA experimental program. We met Dr. Campbell three times: Dr. Campbell was in the OR when Ian received his titanium rib (he was patient #2 at Shriners in Philadelphia in 2002), at a conference where Dr. Campbell talked about success stories and our son was featured, and at the picnic celebrating the FDA's approval. Sending our sincere thanks for his pioneering work and condolences to his family."
