It is a miracle to look at Gordon and not see the large, red, and very irritating sores that were there. Dr. Dhir did the surgeries…I thank God and Dr. Dhir and his assistants for their most patient, kind, and loving treatment of Gordon. He is a special person and I know God has helped us to get this far with his recovery from a most dramatic period in his life.

I feel that my surgery experience was much more pleasant than I had expected because of your expertise along with your gentle, caring nature. You can't know how much that unexpected phone call meant to me.  Comments from family and friends have been that they cannot believe that it has been only a week since the surgery when they saw my forehead. I think they consider you a magician, too!! I hope I never need this type of surgery again but will not be concerned. Thank you.

I was treated with utmost respect from all the nurses and staff. My nurse was excellent. She knew what she was doing. Dr. Dhir made me feel relaxed and confident that he would take care of me. I appreciate everything they did for me.

I want to thank you for your superb professionalism, kindness, and huge heart.  You made my experience through the Mohs Surgery bearable, you explained in detail what to expect, and you calmed my racing heart. It took 3 attempts to achieve clear margins and while I was waiting, the staff was nothing but excellent, caring, and reassuring.  You have an A Class Facility.

Thank you so much for your kindness and compassion during my surgery visit.  I had heard only good things about your office and I was very pleased with the ‘personal’ touch you show your patients.
