I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate the care, concern, and compassion you showed me yesterday when I was in for surgery. Thanks so much for explaining everything to me and for being so thorough. You have a wonderful manner about you and you really set my mind at ease. Your willingness to allow me to call you at home put you over the top! I have great respect for you and will not hesitate referring others to you. Thank you again for sharing your gifts with me.
