Spending time with family and friends, cooking, and hiking
I've been searching for the right situation to use this thank you card for a long time. Can't think of a more appropriate time than now to express my sincere gratitude for your willingness to help me achieve admired post surgical appearance results.
Your patience, time, and care are greatly appreciated. I am so absolutely pleased with my leg that now each and every day I am able to look at it, and for once, to not be ashamed of the scars that were once there. Thank you so much. I will always be grateful to you.
Looking back on 2003, my family and I have faced many stressful and trying times traveling back and forth from doctor's office to office. We are very fortunate to have such a caring doctor along with staff who are always willing to help in anyway possible. Thank you and your staff for not giving up and traveling down this long, hard road with me. You have always been straight up and honest with me and had my best interest in mind, not many doctors are like that and take things as personal.
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.
Not only were the staff very kind and caring, but are a real credit to their profession. I was very impressed with the way they relate to their patients. Thank you for taking the time to explain everything to us. Your staff is very wonderful. You should be very proud of them.
You have such value!! Thank you for using the gifts that God gave you to bring health, healing and happiness to other people! His cheek is all healed and you cannot see the incision. Wow! What a great job you did!
Three days have passed since your removal of the cancer from my face. The pain from the surgery has been light and tolerable. There has been no need for pills to relieve this pain. There are no signs of bleeding or of swelling. You mentioned the danger to a nerve which controls the mouth, had the cancer not been removed. The body is wonderfully made! It has never occurred to me that there is a mechanism which enables us to open our mouths.
Thank you so much! Sorry I cried. I get hormonal sometimes! You all were great and I appreciate everything you did for me!
We have greatly appreciated the excellent care we have received in our surgeries and dermatology treatments. We have highly recommended you to many as your are THE BEST!
Thank you for sharing with our Young-At-Heart group. We gained much knowledge from your informative presentation. Your enthusiasm and individual attention will stay with us a long time. The ladies are using the cream and they are praising it highly. Thanks again for giving your time to talk to us.
