Mia Robertson, the daughter of Duck Dynasty stars Missy and Jase Robertson, is grieving this week after learning about the passing of someone who had a significant impact on her life. Dr. David Genecov, Mia’s long-time doctor, tragically died in a car accident last Saturday.

Missy Robertson took to Instagram to share the heartbreaking news while her daughter, Mia, was undergoing surgery to repair her cleft lip and palate. In her post, Missy expressed her gratitude for Dr. Genecov’s compassionate nature and innovative medical techniques that made a difference in their lives.

“Dr. Genecov’s caring nature helped calm Mia and me during many challenging moments. His unwavering encouragement that we can overcome any difficulty strengthened us more than we could have ever imagined,” Missy wrote with deep appreciation.

Mia Robertson’s journey has been meticulously documented since she was a young child. She recently underwent her 14th surgery in July, and she believes it will be her final one. To ensure that every child has the opportunity to smile, Mia and her family established the Mia Moo Fund.

Missy Robertson informed Mia about Dr. Genecov’s tragic accident, and Mia is taking it very seriously. The family fondly remembers how Dr. Genecov involved Mia in decision-making and always presented himself impeccably. His memory will forever be cherished in their hearts.

“He exceeded our expectations in the care he provided throughout Mia’s cleft journey. We will deeply miss him, but we are grateful for the lasting impact he made on Mia and his other cleft lip and palate patients. His legacy of medical breakthroughs will benefit future generations,” expressed Missy with a heavy heart.

Although Mia has not mentioned the incident on her social media platforms, her mother reveals that Mia can’t remember a time before she met Dr. David. “We kindly ask for your prayers for his family and everyone affected by this devastating loss,” Missy continued.
