Name: Holly Mooney
Summary: Best Doctors’ second opinion
enabled Holly to walk
Background:
Diagnosed with a tumour in her thigh just before her third birthday, Holly endured chemotherapy, bone
grafting and breakage that left one leg 12cm shorter than the other. Despite surgery and specialist
consultations, the bone would not heal.
Holly and her family were told that nothing further could be done. It was at this point that Holly’s parents got
in touch with Best Doctors.
Treatment:
A world authority on bone reconstruction reviewed Holly’s case and proposed not only repairing but also
regrowing the bone. After Best Doctors arranged a consultation, Holly’s parents decided to proceed with
surgery.
Outcome:
From being unable to walk without an orthosis and crutches, within four months of her surgery Holly was
walking all by herself.
“Best Doctors understood our case right away.”
