Dr. Altman,

I know that my surgery is very minor compared to what you usually handle. Nevertheless, I feel compelled to express my deep appreciation for your professionalism, integrity, and talent. You epitomize the best of the medical profession, and those same qualities are reflected in your staff.

No doubt, you have made and will continue to make enormous differences in countless lives-- a fact of which very view can boast.

Warmest regards,

S.T.
