Hi, LEEDer…I’m with our Quality Mgmt Dept. at HL and wanted to take a moment to thank you on behalf of DB and HL for your hard work and customer service on the ortho boot for a fellow patient in Natalia, TX. You guys went above and beyond and please note that doesn’t go unnoticed at HL. Thanks again and Happy Holidays! JD, HL Quality Department.
