You are truly a miracle worker! Thank you so very much for taking such good care of GW. We appreciate all of you so much.
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 guess that is what makes your so special. And for all the phone calls you have made, checking on me after surgeries, that means the world to me. I just hope you and your staff realize how special you are to me and my family. Without you, this journey might not have lasted this long. Thanks for everything in helping me fight this disease.
I appreciate your generosity in allowing me to observe you at work. This was very educational, and now I feel I can properly inform patients about the expected experience when undergoing Mohs surgery. It is clear to me what an elegant, accurate, and effective method to excising skin cancers. I am impressed with the way your clinic is run. The nurses and staff are very professional and responsive to the patients which I’m sure they appreciate. I hope to see you in the future!
Thank you so much for taking extra time out of your busy schedule to give us answers to our questions and concerns. You treated us like how I wish all patients could be treated in the health care system today. Thank you for your wonderful handiwork. EH was in the best of hands.
Thank you for the opportunity to spend time in your practice learning about Mohs surgery and more particularly the art of reconstruction. I sincerely appreciate that you tailored your teaching to my future plans. You are the only professor to have done that so far. This week has given me a great deal of insight into future standards for appropriate skin cancer treatment and management. I look forward to a day when I will be honored to call you a colleague.
Thank you for a successful Mohs surgery. I was very confident in your abilities and it was a pleasure to meet you.
Thank you for all your kind service, your happy smiles and care. Enjoy the sweets that are as sweet as all of you.
I feel like the luckiest person on earth that I was sent to you. You have the lightest touch while working, but the determination to get things right like a 5 Star General. You are rare.
