I know you don't remember me, but you removed a skin cancer from the side of my nose. I jokingly asked you to make me beautiful. My nose looks wonderful! You have to look very carefully to see you incision. I am very happy and pleased with my nose. You and your staff treated me with so much care. I really appreciate it. Something that was so scary to me was handled so that I felt reassured and comfortable. Thank you for your care of me. Affectionately, your patient.
I have been reflecting on the minor basal cell surgery that you performed on me yesterday. I am extremely pleased with the professionalism and expertise of you and your staff, and the quality of your facilities. I will gladly recommend you and your facility to my family and friends. Again, thank you for helping me to feel comfortable and reassured during the stressful time.
I just wanted to thank you for taking such good care of my mother through two separate procedures. You have a kind and calming manner that is very rare today in the medical field, especially with the elderly, the ones that need it the most. And it is very much appreciated. Thank you again. May God bless you and your family.
Doctor, thank you for being so kind and so good at your work.
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.
People like you make the world a brighter place! Everyone that I've met at your office has been so very nice and kind. I just want you to know that I sincerely appreciate all of you! Thank you so very much.
The care that you and your staff showed me when I had my nose surgery was phenomenal!! I have never been to a doctor's office that showed so much compassion for his patient and your staff was fantastic, too!
Thanks for the advice you gave me to have the mole removed. I am thankful to God for the knowledge he has given you to know how to help people! Thanks again.
Thank you for your kind and professional care!
