Everyone was very nice to me. I would recommend the Surgery Center to anyone.
I just wanted to let you know how much your kindness touched my heart. Thank you!
I want to thank you for your kindness during my surgery! You and your staff are the best!
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.
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.
I would like to thank you for the kindness you showed my wife in taking care of the scarring on her face.
All I can is - Wow! I know some nice doctors and offices, but you and yours in beyond compare. From the minute you arrive, you are enveloped in an atmosphere of TOTAL care.
I appreciate your generosity in allowing me to observe you at work. This was very educational, and now I feel I can properly inform patients about the expected experience when undergoing Mohs surgery. It is clear to me what an elegant, accurate, and effective method to excising skin cancers. I am impressed with the way your clinic is run. The nurses and staff are very professional and responsive to the patients which I’m sure they appreciate. I hope to see you in the future!
