"Please" know that when I'm ready to make it happen and the timing is right, I "will" be seeking you out as my physician - you can have every confidence in that."

There are no words enough to thank you for all that you have done for me.

You have changed my life entirely and that makes you a very special human being. I'm much more focused on my kids and the real values and ideals in my life and that rubs on them. I believe in "pay it forward" and I would like to let you know that I will do for someone the same greatness as a payment to you. Thank you."

Testi "Dear Doc & Cathy,

Thank you so very much for the wonderful work you did on my breast implants & for doing a job no other surgeon in Las Vegas would do. I guess the fact that it took extra precautions and had to be performed at a hospital turned most Doctors off.

I thank God there are doctors like you who really care about people.

Cathy - Thank you for all the red tape you sifted through to get my insurance to pay what they were suppose to and for all the help!

I think so highly of you both!

P.S. My lips look beautiful! See ya in about a year!"
