Thank you so much for your care & skills & kindness.
I wanted to say thank you to you & your staff for the successful removal of the BCC from my forehead. The wound healed nicely & is not noticeable. I appreciated how you shared in advance the details on how you perform Mohs surgery. I enjoyed you sharing your interest in sports cars and racing.
The word "courteous" carries an image by which I can think of my happy experience. I was treated as if I were a royal personage, an honored guest at the court of a king. The king’s royal physician performed the surgery! Please accept my thanks, Dr. Anir Dhir, for this memorable experience.
A very relaxed and comfortable procedure. I was treated in a very kindly and gentle manner which made the whole process very comfortable. I am having a speedy recovery showing good care and a successful procedure.
The concern and compassion shown during my surgery will be forever appreciated.
Thank you for your kindness. I wish I could put into words what your thoughtfulness means to us. I am so amazed at the things you have done for my husband and myself that you didn't have to do. It is very greatly appreciated.
Dr. Dhir, Erika, & Lindsay, The surgery site on my forehead healed quickly, with no aches, pain, or scarring. You did great. :-) Your "fun" attitude makes my visits a breeze. Thanks Much!!
Thank you very much for everything you done for me. Also thanks too to your staff for everything they did. Without you all removing my skin cancer for me with the ways things are I don't know what I would have done. Thank you.
