American Heritage has a long history of sacrifice from generous donors who believe deeply in the value of the school’s mission. As a result, we have acquired a beautiful campus and buildings that are exclusively financed by donation revenue. Therefore, tuition dollars are needed only to cover day-to-day operational expenses. Chrie Valadez We have had a wonderful experience with American Heritage. It has been refreshing to send my daughter to a school where she is cared for and loved by her teachers and peers. The environment on campus is uplifting and positive, which helps the learning process. It has been worth every penny.

Charles H. Banov, gifted storyteller and physician, shares tales from over fifty years of his love affair with medicine and looks back with honesty and humor at growing up Jewish in the South and opening the first doctor's office in a tiny Texas town. His journey, from anxious medical student to respected physician and president of a major international medical association, is filled with triumphs and setbacks, humor and sadness. They include the challenge of raising a special-needs daughter, the random stroll with a woman who turned out to be Oprah Winfrey and saving lives in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Dr. Banov shares these moments and more in his absorbing, often hilarious and always uplifting memoir. Banov's intimate portraits of the teachers, fellow students and, above all, the patients who framed his career are recounted with warmth and insight, and provide a rare inside view into the making of a doctor. The drama, humor and humanity of Dr. Banov's many years as a practicing physician will enrich and inspire medical students, health care professionals and people everywhere who want to make a difference in their communities.

I ordered it out of curiosity because I went to school with the author. I had some faulty memory and appreciated the added info. He is a good person, not a great writer tho the stories were interesting because I could relate. I hope he is enjoying his retirement and wish him well.

I met the author at a writers' workshop. I was led to believe that this was a book of his memoirs. I picked it up, and was immediately captivated. I've lived in Charleston for 23 years, and he introduced me to a city I had not known existed. He brought to life his practice, his patients, and his family in such a way that I felt like I had been there. It was wonderful to be able to live his life, and to experience life in medicine when doctors practiced medicine because they valued their gifts, recognized their ability to improve the life of mankind, and accept the limits of what science can provide. Not only is this author very talented, but he has lived his life better than most people I can think of, caring, and giving, and totally dedicated to his family and his profession. A most inspiring read.

'Office Upstairs - A Doctor's Journey', Charles H. Banov, MD.
Where have all the doctors gone? One might ask this plaintively after reading Dr. Charles Banov's `Office Upstairs.' A combination of humanitarian, physician, volunteer,philosopher, and involved historian, his life of adventure includes patients,colleagues, governments and those of his own family. This is a chronicle
of a man, a Jew in the changing South, and an age when iron lungs existed as did a host of physical tragedies that devastated lives. Dr. Banov's involvement and participation in dire circumstances should inspire those who choose to stand by and simply witness.

When did you last feel compassion in a doctor's `practice', or vaguely remember a doctor who called you by name? They used to exist. Dr. Banov's letter to his sons, upon their medical school graduation, should be read aloud at every single medical college in this country.

This book was a privilege to read; a rare glimpse of `How it was and a quiet reminder of how it should be.' It is a most moving memoir; I will not disclose what Dr. Banov wishes on his tombstone.

Perhaps, The Boy Scouts of America might re-consider and forward the medal to this brilliant individual who demonstrated his innate medical skill at the age of twelve ...
