Most gratefully yours,
Dear Dr. Bucky, Lori, Valerie, Kim + Staff-
Please accept my appreciation + gratitude (aside from my $!) for your expertise, competence, patience + respectful consideration you have all demonstrated throughout my surgical procedure. Thank you for assuaging my pre-op jitters with patience + accurate information. Thank you Valerie + Kimmy for your expert medical support (not to mention make-up tips!) and answering all my questions with kindness + consideration. And of course thank you Dr. Bucky for your combined aesthetic sense and surgical expertise. I am so happy with the results. I still look like me, only a little brighter + and a bit more youthful. In fact, I feel quite pretty again, which, justified or not, is quite a morale booster. Please also send my regards and appreciation to Zoe (and her new baby, Harrison) for her gentle support during my overnight stay at the Ritz. Please feel free to use any of my comments in whatever way you would like + and I am happy to speak with other potential patients about my experience.
Dr. Bucky
I am very grateful for your expertise in repairing my breast reconstruction. Before my first appointment with you I was beginning to give up and accept my reconstruction wasn’t meant to be. A friend recommended that I see you and my first visit I knew I was at the right place. Everyone in your office goes above and beyond to ease your worries and make you feel like a ‘friend’ not another patient. Your kindness and compassion meant the world to me. My journey took time and patience but the outcome was worth every minute. Once again I can’t thank you enough. Your are the best.
Thank you for taking such wonderful care of me – I look so relaxed and refreshed. No bruises at all, just beautiful. Thanks so much. Enjoy the sweets
