I would like to recognize the excellent care I've received by you. In addition to being very knowledgeable having authored books in your field and a being a meticulous and skilled surgeon, I've been impressed by your availability to answer my questions( even responding when you were overseas), and coordination of care prior to and after surgery. You have given close attention to my postoperative physical therapy necessary to my recovery which was unexpected and greatly appreciated. I thank you for the high quality of care I have received and I know I would not be well on the path to full recovery had I not become your patient.
