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!!
We have greatly appreciated the excellent care we have received in our surgeries and dermatology treatments. We have highly recommended you to many as your are THE BEST!
When it comes to being a great doctor, you more than fill the prescription. I'm so very fortunate to have you for my dermatologist.
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.
Doctor Dhir and staff, I appreciated the high level of professional and personal care. Explanation of treatment, pathology, and care was thorough, appropriate, and excellently delivered. Thanks!
Thank you for your kindness during my recent visit for my surgery. It was a pleasure to have doctors who care. Thanks again.
I just wanted to thank you for your call Friday after my neck surgery. I greatly appreciate your concern. Even though skin cancer is considered to have a high cure rate, it is upsetting to find out that you have any kind of cancer. You and your wonderful staff have made a difficult situation easier to understand and cope with.
Just a brief note to express my satisfaction with the outcome of the surgery thus far. I appreciated you taking time out of your busy schedule to answer my questions. Also, I want to compliment your staff because they're so courteous whenever I call and they're so helpful. I recommended you highly to a friend who is now considering surgery on her face. She sees a doctor at UK but I said she should consider using your services. In short, I'm glad I put my face in your hands.
Thank you for all your care and concern and all your patience and time you used on me. You and your staff were wonderful. God bless you.
Thank you so very much for taking such exceptional care of me. I was quite nervous being on the other side of the surgery. You completely put my mind at ease.
