Hystotripsy Patient Testimonial

Jonathan Cermin

Jonathan came to Good 
Shepherd Health Care System 
from Wisconsin for the 
Histotripsy surgical procedure 
using the HistoSonics Edison® 
Histotripsy System. This 
innovative robotic technology 
uses focused ultrasound to 
precisely target and destroy 
liver tumors without incisions, 
radiation or heat.

Jonathan’s treatment was performed by Board-Certified 
Interventional Radiologist Kevin Burns, MD, with Good 
Shepherd Interventional Radiology. Dr. Burns and our 
Interventional Radiology team combine specialized 
expertise with advanced, minimally invasive technology 
to provide innovative treatment options for patients from 
all over the globe.

“I had never heard of Hermiston in my life, and yet 
they’ve got this incredible technology that can treat my 
tumors. It’s amazing technology, and I’m very grateful 
that it exists. At Good Shepherd, I’m not just a number 
or a name; every staff member makes you feel welcome, 
and you’re treated like a friend. I am very grateful to Dr. 
Kevin Burns. He is outstanding, and I’ve had an excellent 
experience.” —Jonathan Cermin, Histotripsy Patient
