It's been some time since my surgery but believe me I haven't forgotten about how thankful I am for choosing you to do my breast augmentation surgery.

But you are such a great plastic surgeon I thought I'd have nothing to loose. It has truly changed the way I think about myself. You and your staff are the most wonderful, professional bunch of people I have ever met. Jo is a heaven sent; she makes you always feel comfortable.
