I had my surgery done 20 Nov, and am now sitting here at home, a little sore, but healing very nicely. I have been reflecting on my experience for the past couple of days and how it has changed us as a family already.
Doctor Monteith, I’m sure you know how you make a difference in people’s lives, given the nature of your work, and you must hear words of gratitude quite often. You gave us hope. The magic and joy of even having the possibility to conceive fills every corner of our house. We all feel it, even our daughters. Sir, you were so nice to us, and down to earth. We thank you.
Doctor Hertz, the anesthesia and getting put to sleep was the scariest part for me. You were so unbelievably kind and very patient from the beginning. We trusted you, and on the morning of the surgery, I felt no fear. We thank you as well.
To all the nurses, Martha, Donna, Fran, Lorie, and Susie thank you all so much for your kindness, and your smiles. When I posted on the message board about my experience, I told everyone that I was treated with a tenderness that is almost nonexistent in most health care institutions today. You all are very special.
Ultimately this was one of the best experiences of my life, not just because it marks a new beginning, but because it is just that type of establishment: first rate, professional, knowledgeable, affordable, organized, and caring. Even the hotel stay was perfect! And finally, Dr. Berger, I did not meet you, but this clinic is yours, and we thank God for you and that you decided to open it. You must be proud of this amazing staff.
Have a happy thanksgiving all of you.
Daniel, and Elle S.
