Testimonials

Testi "Thank you so much for everything you have done for me. The week in the hospital was the scariest time of my life but for some reason when you came to visit in the morning, I knew everything was going to be ok. The sense of security you give is priceless....Everyone at the hospital made comments on what a good doctor you are! Thanks again."

Testi "I want to thank you for your encouragement throughout my procedure and decision to go larger. I finally was officially measured and have found I am a 34D. After kids, I shrunk to an A cup. I am so much more comfortable and confident with my new and natural look!"

Testi "Just a note of thanks for all you have done in such a short amount of time since my first call to you! In less than a month I have beautiful breasts! I have been wanting this for a long time, but there was always an issue that prevented me from actually going through with it....I think as you get older, you worry less about those things that prevent you from doing things and you say, "This isn't about anyone but ME!" I didn't want to wear t-shirts and sweatshirts that hide the fact that I was a bra size A. I'm 40 years old and I have a great figure for my age except my breasts. I wanted to feel complete. Now I can finally wear clothes that compliment my body."

Testi "I had a professional consultation with Dr. Rocheford and she answered everything I could even possibly think of. She is very professional, but a human being a woman, so it was easy to show her your body as it was to be honest with her. I had a tummy tuck, lipo and I will now be wearing a bikini this summer if I keep running. They called to see how I was and even gave me her private number. I would never go to anyone else!!! ALL of her staff are perfect, even though I have a favorite Debbie.:O) I just had laser treatment on old scaring from acne and too much tanning in Mexico. I had one treatment by professional but wonderful women and my result is like a newborn. I LOVE it and there was NO down time. I don't have to wear makeup!"

Testi "Dr. Rocheford is extremely skilled and caring. She has performed several cosmetic procedures for me and I am always impressed with her techniques and her approach. Her office staff are also wonderful."

M.H.
Testi "Dr. Rocheford,

"Thank you" seems like such a small word to express how grateful I am! I am "thrilled" with my implant replacements! The entire process could not have gone smoother! Your office "and" the surgery center was a wonderful experience! And to think I found you on the internet!! It was worth the 5 hour drive!"
K.
Testi "Dr. Rocheford,

Thank you so much for your expertise, advice and professionalism. From the moment I walked into the office, I felt completely cared for and in "good hands". I am lovin' the new look and feelin' like 40 isn't going to be so bad after all! :) I don't want to forget Deb and your team at the surgery center either... ALL of them, wonderful, respectful and kind." A "big" Thanks to them all, too!"

Testi "Thank you" Such a small word but so much behind it. I am so speechless by my gratitude behind your talent, kindness & staff. Thank you so "very" much for making a difference in this world. Because, you do!!"

Testi "Dr. Rocheford,

I cannot begin to tell you how much the implant surgery has changed me! I feel absolutely wonderful and love my new breasts! You and your staff were so helpful and made me feel at ease. I cannot thank you enough!!"

Testi "Dr. Rocheford and Staff -

Thank you for brightening my life! Thank you for "adding" confidence that I have needed for years! You and your staff are the Best!"

Testi "Heather,

Thank you so much for all your kindness, explanation and reassurance with my recent surgery. you are (and always have been) an excellent surgeon and I'm so appreciative for your skills. The gift certificate is a very "small" way to say thanks. (even if you may not drink coffee)."

Testi "Dear Heather,

I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your care, kindness and skill. You are an outstanding surgeon! Thank you for impacting my self-esteem in such a positive way. My husband highly approves of 'my new body'"

Testi "Dr. Rocheford,

Thank you for such a Great job - I feel so young again! You truly go above & beyond to make your patients feel good! More importantly, thank you for your kindness, information & care towards me!"

Testi "Dear Dr. Rocheford,

I want you to know that for me just saying thank you was not enough so I hope you will accept my way of saying "thank you so very much" for turning my life around. I feel so wonderful and I can't believe how something like this could be so powerful and have such an impact and I'm not even normal yet. It was overwhelming for me in the beginning but with the help of some kind friends and a little extra time, it all worked out and I'm very pleased. The crew at High Pointe was wonderful too. God knew what he was doing when he created you and you do it well. So I thank you with all my heart.

I'd also like to thank your staff for being so kind and always keeping me informed of what was needed and reminding me of my appointments. It must be a great honor to work for you. Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas!"

You've helped make my days sunny! Thanks for the care & concern & helping make a slightly painful experience so worth it! Thanks! (With new smooth forehead & thighs!)."

Testi "Dear Dr. Heather,

"Thank you" seems inadequate as I try to express my gratitude to you. You (and all your staff) have treated me with great respect and kindness. I have always felt comfortable through everything. I especially want to thank you for the extra surgery time you gave me and the perfect, beautiful "new" nose. You are an "angel," and a gifted, inspired surgeon!! God bless you always!!"
