Some people choose a profession. Others choose a calling. Dr. Holeman has always exemplified what it truly means to be called to medicine.
More than three decades ago, he guided me through two very difficult, high-risk pregnancies with extraordinary skill, wisdom, and compassion. Because of his care, I was blessed with my two beautiful children, who will be celebrating their 36th and 38th birthdays this fall. Every birthday, every milestone, every family gathering reminds me of the important role he played in making those moments possible.
What I appreciated most was not only his exceptional medical expertise, but the way he cared for me as a person. I always felt heard, understood, respected, and genuinely cared about. He never made me feel rushed or insignificant, and his calm confidence brought comfort during some of the most uncertain times of my life.
Over the years, I also had the privilege of getting to know Dr. Holeman through mutual friends and acquaintances. It confirmed what I had already experienced as his patient: his kindness, integrity, humility, and compassion are simply who he is. The respect people have for him extends far beyond his medical accomplishments.
Dr. Holeman, thank you for the remarkable care you gave me and my family. Thank you for using your knowledge, your gifts, and your heart to change so many lives--including mine. Some people leave footprints on our hearts without ever realizing it. You are one of those people, and I will carry my gratitude for you for the rest of my life. read more
