Praise

"I recently hired ION Medical Designs to create some graphics for use in patient education. I found them to be thorough in their preparations for the project. This significantly improved the quality of the final project because their understanding of what I was looking for was so complete. The project exceeded my expectations and was done in a timely manner" - Grant Gilliland, MD Texas Ophthalmic Plastic, Reconstructive and Orbital Surgery Associates

"I really liked it (Sepsis). Anybody could've made a game where you move your mouse to get rid of "bad-floaty-thingies". But you took it further and made it actually worthwhile. Great job. Kudos for being original and double kudos for making it educational. I really liked the flash card you put on after every level. Who needs med school when you can learn it all on Newgrounds?" Newgrounds review for Sepsis

"It's (Sepsis) definitely something different than anything else I've seen on Newgrounds. Not really a lot of educational anything going on around here. But I loved it overall. Very cute and interesting game, and I learned stuff! Haha, great job man!" - AntiGravity - Oilizer Newgrounds review for Sepsis

"I thought this game (Sepsis) was very well done. I actually learned a lot while playing the game about stuff that I previously had no clue about and the main part that helped me learn was the flash cards in between levels. I thought the designs of all the organisms were great and colorful. Overall a very fun game." - ~H-J~ Newgrounds review for Sepsis
