I wanted to thank you and your staff for taking such good care of me when I visited the surgery center. I was happy to be treated so kindly and really appreciate that your nurses went out of their way to make me comfortable and help accommodate me with my modesty / religious preferences. Thank you.

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.

The word "courteous" carries an image by which I can think of my happy experience. I was treated as if I were a royal personage, an honored guest at the court of a king. The king’s royal physician performed the surgery! Please accept my thanks, Dr. Anir Dhir, for this memorable experience.
