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.

Thank you for the Dermabrasion. My nose looks 100% better. You are the BEST doctor I know, and Theresa you are by far the best nurse I ever seen. Thank you for being so thoughtful and making me feel special. I just can't say enough about you two.  Thank you.

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!

Just a note to thank you for my surgery. The graft has taken well and it seems to be healing nicely. Since I was diagnosed with myeloma and lymphoma, I have been treated by a number of doctors and surgeons. You have been one of the very best. You were friendly, took time to explain things in easy-to-understand terms. You are a very skilled surgeon. I was treated more as a friend, not just another number. It's never fun to go to doctors, but you make it as enjoyable as possible. Thanks.

How can I possibly explain how much you have meant to us. When you took the Hippocratic Oath, it must have had an addendum that covered care and compassion. You are truly special and I feel so blessed to know 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.
