"True meaning is found in the little acts of kindness that spring from the heart. For all the ways you give and care, and make such a difference in your patients' lives, thank you." Thank you from me and I am sure all of your patients for the wonderful care you give you patients. Thank you again, DP
Dear Doctor,
You touched my heart with your special concern for the well being for my life. No one has ever fought so hard for my best interest before. You are my hero! I thank God for you and hope you will be blessed as much if not more than you have blessed me. Love your patient, DA
P.S. Happy New Year!

Dear Dr.,
The first day I came into to see you I was so embarassed about my "mom pouch". You and your wonderful staff made me feel so comfortable and confident in my choice to move ahead with liposuction. On the day of surgery I was extremely nervous and the hospital staff were more thoughtful than I could have ever expected. The nurses, anesthesiologist and of course you made me feel very safe as I headed to surgery. As soon as I woke up, I knew my body was different and suprisingly to me I didn't have a lot of pain. You continued to impress me when you asked me to come in the day after surgery (a Saturday) so that you could make sure I was doing okay. That Saturday I was doing great and by the time I came in a week after surgery to remove the dressing I felt amazing. When I looked in the mirror in your office for the first time, I thought to myself "that isn't my stomach...where did the love handles and pouch go?" Over the last 6 months the results have only improved. As I told your nurse on my first visit, for me it has never been about looking perfect or being the skinniest woman ever. For me, I only wanted to feel comfortable in my body and in my everyday life. That is what you have given me...confidence in the way I look every single day. I could never thank you and your staff enough for literally changing my life.
Thanks,
J

At this time of year we remember what we are thankful for and I am most thankful for finding such a wonderful doctor. I couldn’t let this time go by without giving you this small token of my gratitude for all you’ve done for me this year. I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Dear Dr.,
I was looking at a picture of my chest before surgery today and it made me want to write you to just say thanks again. You changed my life. When I get the ab part done, we can finish up the chest then, but in the mean time I can not begin to tell you the feeling you have given me. Thank you so much for the happiness.
Kind Regards

Dear Doctor, Once in a while there is a physician who goes above & beyond---You are that one. The care you gave little Christa was so special as was the support given to alleviate my daughter's fears. You are indeed a gifted surgeon. Sincerely, Mairi
Hello Doctor, Our family stopped by to say hi! You did three surgeries on Emily for syndactaly and one on my hand. Thank you so much! BR
Hi Doctor! It's me, Emily. It's been 13 years since I last saw you. I'm wondering how you're doing and I really want to thank you. Blessings, Emily

Dear Doctor, I want to thank you for helping me through this very difficult surgery. I was told by one of the nurses "you had the dream team!" I know it and am so grateful to have such a gifted surgeon. This has been a very emotional time and a hard decision to make, so it has been a relief to know I can rest in your hands! It was just by chance that I attended your lecture last January, but I think it was meant to be! Best, LS
To Doctor, I received your follow-up letter recently and sincerely appreciate your thoughts and hospitality during my recent consultation visit. To anyone who visits your facility, meets your staff, and interacts with you, it's evident you've assembled a first-class organization. You're clearly very knowledgeable, competent, and have a great demeanor with prospective patients. For this surgery (whenever it ends up being), I wouldn't consider anyone else. I also wanted to say that as Customer Coordinator, you couldn't have chosen a better face for your organization than Dawn (personable and professional). You've assembled a team that makes it easy for prospective patients to feel comfortable.

Dear Doctor and office, I can't think of a better deserved thank you for all that you have done. You're informative and made me a bit more comfortable. You are genuine and that made me trust you. For all of this and more, I thank you. DH
Dear Doctor, Thank you so much for taking care of my surgery in such a friendly and professional manner. I feel so blessed to have met you. You were able to ease my concerns and answer all of my questions. I was truly impressed by the way your mapped my belly, the morning of the surgery, like a real artist. The cut is so nice. I am really amazed at the results. Thanks again for everything! Sincerely, KS

Doctor, I really appreciate you, and your work, and how darn good you are. Also, your soft quiet smile when I go a little over the top, and the stillness of your energy. You are a fantastic doctor, and a wonderful teacher and I am sure outside of your white coat, a pretty nifty all around human being. I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your superior care of me, and the expertise you showed upon my body. I feel pretty for the first time in 47 years, ok wait...yes, I do, but, I will feel even better when I am "tweeked" and then, then, then...I think I will be unstoppable.
Your goofy patient AK.
Doctor, Thank you for everything! I am ecstatic with the results and I know this is because of your skill and commitment as a surgeon. I also want to let you know how much I appreciate your willingness to talk to me during your personal time off when I was in Boston. It meant a tremendous amount to me to know what to expect. I believe you are a great doctor and most of all a great person-very inspiring! Thank you for everything!

I know I seemed less than thrilled yesterday about my chest, but I wanted to let you know it took every thread of my being to not cry out of happiness. To me, you have proven yourself to be an artist with incredible surgical abilities. I was in a lot of pain and had a lot of tension regarding the outcome. When I saw your job, I couldn't believe it was me looking back in the mirror. You changed my life and I do not know where to begin to thank you for the wonderful creation you left me with. So, thank you and I look forward to getting these tubes out of me as soon as possible. I am scared to shower which is ok for me; not so much my wife. See you soon and thank you again for being so talented and using those incredible skills on me. You did a 10 out of 10 as far as I am concerned.

Dear Doctor, Reflecting over the past year, I want to thank you for making me feel like a new person. Your creative art of re-sculpting my abdominal and stomach area and your sincere care have been amazing! I wish you a healthy and happy New Year and years to come. Good luck in all your endeavors!
With much appreciation, M

Thank you for persevering and advocating on my behalf to get me into LCM San Pedro Radiology for a new drain yesterday. Your efforts made a significant difference in my improved well being and I am grateful beyond description.
Candace
I am writing to you again this time to thank you for getting me to Dr. Feldman and his team at LCM San Pedro Radiology. Thanks to you and your staff’s extraordinary efforts to get me in there sooner vs. later, I was seen yesterday morning by Dr. Feldman and I now have a new drain that is working quite well. The greatest news is that I feel as if I have just turned a corner in my recovery process. I am feeling stronger this morning than I have felt since the 7/31-8/1 emergency surgery. My blood seems to be regaining it’s vigor. I am grateful, beyond description for your part in getting me to where I am now. You have consistently shown-up, scheduled and unscheduled weekday and weekend, and for this, my gratitude abounds.
There have been difficult moments between us-communication between human egos is a tricky thing. I want you to know that regardless of these challenges, my gratitude for your fine efforts getting me stitched-up and restiched to heal, finally, one-year-post- mastectomy transcends any bumps in the road we’ve travelled together. You’re work is exceptional. I’ll see you next week.
In gratitude, Candice
I could not be happier with my results. Dr. Newman and his staff have been wonderful. My breast augmentation went extremely smooth and my recovery has been so fast. The size is exactly what I wanted and have amazing results. Also, Dawn was great throughout the entire process and very accommodating and so kind. I highly recommend Dr. Newman and this practice to anyone.
Thank you, Michelle

I am pleased to extend my heartfelt thanks and gratitude to Dr. Jewell and staff. I am three weeks post Breast Reduction and could not be happier. The surgery and recovery was so much easier than I had hoped for. And the knowledge and experience of Dr. Jewell and the support and encouragement by the staff and especially Dawn, made a nervous patient calm.
Thanks again, Laura
I know you are not done with me yet but I wanted to say thanks for the excellent work and kindness & compassion that you have all shown me during this ordeal. It really makes it easier and helps to get through this experience. See you soon.
God Bless, Missy

I am pleased to write this testimonial for the staff at Personal Image Center. Five weeks ago I had the resurfacing laser procedure performed by Dr. Newman. From the start, Dr. Newman was attentive, helpful, and informative. He was even more wonderful post procedure, calling me at home and having me check in for weekly office visits. I am very pleased with the results and thank Dr. Newman for assisting in my healing. The entire staff, in particular, Cosmetic Patient Care Coordinator Dawn, was accommodating and thoughtful.

Thank you so much for the Latisse Solution. Your kindness and generosity touched my heart. I appreciate you so much. I’ve had two chemo treatments with four more to go. I will come and see you soon. I love you, Y
I am the lady (on the ground) you assisted in the Tormed parking lot on Friday, April 16, 2010. I can’t thank you enough for your assistance as well as the person you brought with you. I was able to get home and rest and my surgeon has since reassured me that there is no further injury to my spine. At this time in my life, I don’t need a Plastic/Reconstructive Surgeon but if the time comes or I know of someone who does, I will definitely mention your name. Once again, thank you for your help.
Sincerely, R

Just a quick note and thank you for the referral to Dr. Lisa Jewell. She performed my much desired reconstruction last Thursday and the results are beyond any I hoped for or felt achievable. I cannot heap enough praise upon her.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart. The old me thanks you... The new me loves you... you rock!

I'm not religious and the only miracles I have seen were performed by surgeons, so my admiration for doctors is already great. The Kindness and caring you have shown me, in addition to your brilliant skills, has made my surgeries one of the best experiences in my life. Plus, you’re a mom! You mom must be so proud of you. I’ll be thinking of you every day for a long time.

Thank you for helping me in my time of need. The necrotizing fasciitis was devastating, but with your expert help, I have a fighting chance of getting back to "normal". Every day when I look at my skin graft, I acknowledge you compassion, expertise, knowledge, experience and considerable skill. I am sending to your office a basket of chocolates and other goodies from Hawaii. I remember that you had a sweet tooth. The basket is a small token of appreciation from a very happy and eternally grateful patient. Please let it brighten your life, as you have brightened mine.

20 years. That's how long I waited and wanted my breast reduction. The wait is over and how I want to thank you far deeper than I can express for the incredibly beautiful results. (It's only been 7 days!) Not only am I impressed and in total elation of your precision, talent, and aesthetic abilities but the confidence and competence of every one on your team. Through every hurdle (and there were many) I was met with compassion and patience. Your heart, humor and dedication are all included in my physical and emotional results. Thank you sincerely for my life changing transformation. I finally feel like the me I was always meant to be.
Sincerely, Annie
