I am very grateful for the care and skill that has eliminated my cancer. Just as you said, it's been 6 months and there is very, very little marking and no numbness. I am very pleased with the results. Thank you.
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.
Special thanks for performing surgery on my face recently . I appreciate all the discipline, experience, and education you have invested over the years in order to become an excellent surgeon. You are really serving the public well and saving lives as you go. Congratulations to you and your fine firm.
I have worked at a hospital for ten years so I have a real insight to health care facilities. The minute I walked in your door for surgery, the better I felt. I would rate my experience with your staff as outstanding. The people who work at your facility are very good at what they do. I was treated by smiling, friendly faces who loved their job and love their patients. The whole staff were very professional but most importantly were very concerned and caring towards me as their patient.
This older man greatly appreciates your excellent care and kind attention. Thank you so much.
I wanted to send you a huge thank you for all the work you did after my surgery. As you can see, the scar is not visible at all! This was a picture from our wedding day and I thought you might enjoy seeing the end result of all of it! Thanks again for taking such excellent care of me and my face!
I just wanted to tell you again what a wonderful job you did on my face. As you said it would, each month it gets better and better. If you did not know me, you would never notice it. I am sending this picture so you can see for yourself. Maybe you can put in my file next to the ones that I look beat up in. Ha. Anyway, I really appreciate all of you, not only the great work you do but the care and kindness you showed me. It meant more than you will ever know. Love,
