"Your abdominal surgery has done more for my chronic back pain than anything has, since my accident and lumbar rupture back in February of 1996. I chose you for two reasons. My best friend considers you the best Doctor on the face of the planet. Secondly, as an RN, I recognized your Harvard education and surgical training as what it is: the best...I wanted to give you this good report, because it's been a year and a half now, since you stitched me up. Here's the Big Bonus: I can now ballroom dance with the best! I have my body back. I have my life back. Thank you Dr. Manchester."
"Congratulations on thirty years of sharing your gifts with others. I am one who benefited from your skill. The blepharoplasty you performed on me a few years ago lifted my spirits so much that I was able to teach another five years without anyone saying, 'Gee, you look so tired!"
"You were always a most memorable person and an outstanding 'down to earth' guy as well as an exceptional surgeon. Thank you very much for remembering this old war horse. I sincerely appreciate the thoughts expressed and the many fine compliments. You're a good guy, Doctor Gary, and I'm so glad that our paths crossed those some 25 years ago."
"Eight or nine years ago I came to you after living for over five years with the world's most hideous breast implants. The consequence of the first doctor's work was disastrous...You assured me you would do your best. Boy, did you! The results were truly beautiful. A couple of weeks ago I was examined in the radiology department at Kaiser...I was seen by more than half a dozen medical professionals, all of whom praised your work as the best they have ever seen. The SURGEON I was referred to even initially asked where my scars were! I am proud to be a Manchester miracle."
"The result is completely natural. You've removed all the defects that made me hate looking in the mirror in the morning, and no-one even suspects that I have had surgery. Everyone just tells me how wonderful I look."
"Dear Dr. Manchester, I wanted to thank you and let you know that the corrigator muscle surgery you performed has been nothing less than amazing. I have suffered from migraines since I was a teen. Over the last thirty years, I have tried just about every drug promoted for migraines without any relief. Since the day of the surgery, I have not had a single migraine. It is truly wonderful to wake each morning pain free. This is the longest period of time that I can remember going without prescription pain medication. It's also pretty nice to look in the mirror and not see scowl lines anymore. Being a paralegal, it's always been hard working under the fluorescent lights in my office. Now thanks to you I can work in a bright office and look forward to work again. I would urge anyone who suffers from migraines to visit your office. I only wish I had met you years ago!"
"I am ever grateful to you - you are truly an artist and a great surgeon. Take care - continue your good work."
