Dear Dr. Rizk,
I cannot thank you enough for everything you did for me. It is difficult to fathom that I was able to return to my medical office within four days following your meticulous and complex surgery without any discernible signs of bruising and swelling. Other surgical colleagues in your specialty acknowledged the arduous and tedious task of surgically repairing the various defects that had incurred from a prior surgery performed elsewhere. In this regard, I am indebted to you forever for your willingness to take on my case. The results are extraordinary and far exceeded my expectations.
I am also equally impressed by the kindness and compassion you exhibit. You embody the personality and bedside manner of the ideal Oslerian physician I encountered and revered as a medica1 student. You are an exceptional and exemplary role model to all of us, especially to the new generations of doctors. Your international reputation of being among the finest in your field is well deserved. Suffice it to say that the manner in which your practice your surgical craft is at the highest level medically, ethically and artistically.
I wish you a wonderful new year and continued success in bringing great happiness and wellbeing to the many fortunate patients who are lucky enough to encounter you in their life’s journey. I was certainly one such patient whose life was indelibly changed for the better by choosing a path that lead to a welcoming and open door at 1040 Park Avenue
