You have given us every reason to feel confidence in your knowledge and skill as a physician.

Without your quick diagnosis and skilled hands, our daughter would not be celebrating her fifth birthday.

Your patience, sensitivity, and genuine concern enabled our mother to pass from this life with her pride and dignity intact.

You gave me the courage to believe in myself and the will to learn to walk again. Without your support and assurance, I would probably still be wallowing in self-pity.

It is never easy to turn the life of a loved one over to an outsider's care. But in the short time John has resided with you, we have grown to think of you as one of the family.

Your calming reassurance and soothing bedside manner helped ease the trauma of ten stitches in the finger of a frightened six-year-old.

We will forever carry gratitude in our hearts for your returning the gift of life to our daughter.

Mother's inner peace and happiness shone on her face throughout her final hours. Remembering your kindness will help diminish the pain of our loss.

If you ever feel discouraged, call me and I'll remind you of the miracle you have performed in my life.

May God bless you as you continue to work with terminally ill patients and their families.

Thanks to your skill, we are confident that Eric's wound will heal quickly.

Thank you for your kindness and good humor when stitching me up in the middle of the night last Saturday. I had heard nightmare stories about what goes on in emergency rooms, so I was grateful that my experience was so positive. I did not have to wait long, and the treatment I received was very sensitive and kind. I send my heartfelt thanks to you and the nurses who assisted.

We wish to thank you for your efficient handling of the insurance forms for our recent visit to your hospital. As out-of-state travelers, we feared that the paperwork would be a nightmare, but your competent staff knew exactly what to do. In a surprisingly short time, they had processed the forms, and we were back on our vacation. Please give this box of chocolates to the staff at the front desk with our compliments and thanks.

All of us wish to thank you, Dr. Doe, for your kindness and wisdom during our mother's bout with meningitis. Now that she is out of danger, we think it's time to give credit where it is due. Competent, sensitive physicians like you are the prize of the medical profession. Mom can't say enough good about you. We are thankful that she will be around for a long time yet to sing your praises.

Our family wishes to express our heartfelt appreciation for the kindness and excellent care our mother, Jane Doe, received during her recent hospitalization. Of course we are very saddened by her death, but we are comforted in knowing that she received the best care available. The sensitivity and support of your fine staff helped us through what was a very difficult time, and we will never forget your kindness. Please express our appreciation to everyone who worked with Mom.
