Just a brief note to express my satisfaction with the outcome of the surgery thus far. I appreciated you taking time out of your busy schedule to answer my questions. Also, I want to compliment your staff because they're so courteous whenever I call and they're so helpful. I recommended you highly to a friend who is now considering surgery on her face. She sees a doctor at UK but I said she should consider using your services. In short, I'm glad I put my face in your hands.
Just wanted to send you a little note of thanks for being so kind and thoughtful when I had my minor surgery on Friday. It was so nice of you to call me after the surgery to see how I was feeling. I don't think I have ever had a doctor do that and it made me feel good. Thanks again.
You are all so kind & caring! Thank you, Thank you!
Just wanted to drop you a note to let you know that I'm very pleased with the outcome and appreciative of your superb skill as a surgeon.
I wanted to send you a huge thank you for all the work you did after my surgery. As you can see, the scar is not visible at all! This was a picture from our wedding day and I thought you might enjoy seeing the end result of all of it! Thanks again for taking such excellent care of me and my face!
Thank you for your kindness during my recent visit for my surgery. It was a pleasure to have doctors who care. Thanks again.
Thanks for being so kind to me during my recent surgery. You are beautiful people. With love and best wishes.
Dr. Dhir & Staff, I really appreciate all your professional & caring treatment. All well here.
Everyone was extremely pleasant and helpful. All procedures were explained in detail which made the experience comforting. This is a wonderful group.
I just wanted to drop you a line to tell you how happy I am concerning the care you gave me. I tend to be quite critical of everything from medical service to cereal box design. I even rate things on the traditional A to F scale. I have never rated anything an A plus but Mohs broke through!
