Dear Dr. Hilinski,
While I am only 5 days post op, I would like to extend to you my gratitude for the care and treatment I received during the entire process. I am amazed at the wonderful healing process and changes I am seeing.
As you well know, changing one's face is a very scary prospect. I think you should know that I interviewed 7 doctors in 8 months. Your education and reputation could have been enough, except there was one particular reason that stood head and shoulders above the others. Simply stated, you are a good listener. You never interrupted a single question, nor did you assume what I was going to ask before I asked it. This is a very rate quality.
Also, the honesty and integrity you displayed in helping me to make decisions along the way are what will standout in our relationship. I didn't know what to do regarding my nose and you sincerely advised me that if I were on the fence, to not do it. This was a very wise perspective. I didn't want to change what nature gave me; I only wanted to fix what it forgot about it. . .
With best regards,
Eileen, face lift patient from San Diego
