Testimonials

Reprinted from thank-you cards and comments from a recent ASC patient survey:

 “I am taking time to write this letter because my recent visit to DAK was, simply stated, a “perfect” experience.  The medical services you and your team recently provided were absolutely the most prompt, professional, and courteous service I’ve ever experienced anywhere.  There is nothing that could have been done to make my experience any better!  I have already recommended DAK to some of my co-workers and will happily recommend DAK to anyone who asks.  You and your team are a class act!  Again, thank you very much for everything and keep up the great work.”  G

 “You already know that I have high regard for your skill as a surgeon, but I want to let you know that I also appreciate the unique and special person that you are.  I always enjoy talking to you, and only regret that we must do it in the midst of a surgery!”  L 

“Dear Mrs. Faulconer, Thank you and Dr. Dhir both for our consideration and sensitivity.  I do appreciate the laser treatment on my nose.  My nose is looking much better.  Your staff assistants were most helpful and patient with me.”  P  

“Thank you for skillfully removing the cancer from my temple.  I appreciate how you took the time to explain what was needed, and what you were about to do.  I was very impressed with how professional and kind your staff was to me.  I am so thankful that you have dedicated your life to helping people like me to stay well.  In great appreciation,”  T

“Thank you for being so kind to us during ____’s surgery.  It is a very nerve racking time for us.  You made our visit very comfortable.  Thank you again for your kindness.”  A

“Just wanted to thank you for your kindness.  It was a pleasant experience.  I was very nervous and you and especially Heather made it very comfortable.  I wanted to compliment Heather.  She was awesome!  She made me feel very relaxed and you both seem to care…As in my business, a lot of success is our employees and you have a great staff.”  T

“I wanted to let all of you know just how thankful I am, that I am in your care during this time.  I want you to know how much faith I have in your abilities to help me through this crisis.  I want you to know how much I truly appreciate the dedication of each and every member of your staff that worked on me that long, long night.  I know there is still a long road ahead but I am and will remain positive because to do otherwise is self defeating and not helpful to the process.  When you feel that your health or even your life is threatened, words sometimes are not capable of expressing the loneliness and the bits of depression that come over you in that fragile state in which we all reside on a daily basis.  I wanted to remind you (as if I really had to) that life is so precious, friends are treasures to be kept close, and our families are the loving foundation that gives us the strength that enables us to go forth into the world each day and make the most of it we can with the abilities that God has given us.”

“I want to thank all of your staff and you for making my procedure as pleasant as possible.  I was made to feel special by all.  I am doing great.” M

“Just a note to say thanks for the care you all gave me during my recent surgery.  This was my third procedure at DAK, and, as usual, I was amazed at the competent and caring manner you take care of your patients and also the family members that accompany them.  I’m very appreciative and I will certainly recommend you every chance I have.”  G

“Nice meeting you on Friday afternoon.  Thanks for all the information regarding my surgery.  It was grand to hear all the success stories you have.  Know my surgery will be a success, too.  It is always a pleasure to meet a true professional that has great passion for his work.”  C

“Dr Dhir is FABULOUS!!!! Just after the birth of my first child (almost 7 years ago) I had to have the Mohs procedure done on my face... my forehead no less.  I had basal cell above each eye.  Dr Dhir performed two operations.  Afterwards, there is no scarring and I got a great eyebrow lift!! Thank you Dr Dhir for taking great care of me!!!!  You are amazing!” N

“Thanks so much to all of you for the great work you do and for making patients as comfortable as possible.  We really do appreciate it.” P

“Thank you so much for your kindness and compassion during my surgery visit on _____ .  I had heard only good things about your office and I was very pleased with the ‘personal’ touch you show your patients.” W

“Three days have passed since your removal of the cancer from my face.  The pain from the surgery has been light and tolerable.  There has been no need for pills to relieve this pain.  There are no signs of bleeding or of swelling.  You mentioned the danger to a nerve which controls the mouth, had the cancer not been removed.  The body is wonderfully made!  It has never occurred to me that there is a mechanism which enables us to open our mouths.”  W

“My husband had his hand operated on by Dr. Dhir , using the Mohs technique, back in the spring and doesn't even have a scar!! Not only is he a wonderful surgeon, but a super nice person!! Everyone there was great!!” M

“I wanted to send you a huge thank you for all the work you did after my surgery in 2007.  As you can see, the scar is not visible at all!  This was a picture from our wedding day and I thought you might enjoy seeing the end result of all of it!  Thanks again for taking such excellent care of me and my face!”  T

 A Patient’s Experience at the Dermatology Associates of Kentucky:

“Thanks to both you and Mrs. Faulconer for your kindness during my recent visit for my surgery.  It was a pleasure to have doctors who care.  Thanks again.” N

“I have been reflecting on the minor basal cell surgery that you performed on me yesterday.  I am extremely pleased with the professionalism and expertise of you and your staff, and the quality of your facilities.  I will gladly recommend you and your facility to my family and friends.  Again, thank you for helping me to feel comfortable and reassured during the stressful time.”  DF

“Just wanted to say thanks, even though very late, for the excellent procedure you did on my face (left side).  It is practically invisible.”  TB

“Special thanks for performing surgery on my face recently .  I appreciate all the discipline, experience, and education you have invested over the years in order to become an excellent surgeon.  You are really serving the public well and saving lives as you go.  Congratulations to you and your fine firm, DAK.  Also, it was a pleasure to get to meet you and share some ideas and concepts.  In my observation, it is clear very little goes on in your office without distinct deliberation.  It seems you have an exact process for everything – from the knock on the door while a patient is waiting to the language on the handout being exact, engaging, and grammatically correct.  You are not only an outstanding surgeon, but an outstanding businessman/ manager/etc.  It shows in your office and in your people.”  JM

“I just want to thank all of you for being so nice to me and treating me really good.  It’s people like you all that make life worth living and make people want to go on.  Again, thank you for everything you done for me.  I will never forget your kindness.  Love all of you so much.  Thank you!”  KR, following Mohs surgery

“I very much appreciate your generosity in allowing me to observe you at work.  This was very educational, and now I feel I can properly instruct/inform patients about their expected experience when undergoing Mohs surgery.  Also, it is clear to me what an elegant, accurate, and effective method to excising skin cancers.  Finally, I am impressed with the way your clinic is run.  The nurses and staff are very professional and responsive to the patients which I’m sure they appreciate.  I hope to see you in the future and I’ll certainly recommend that fellow residents spend some time with you.  Thank you again!”  UK ENT resident after observing Mohs

"Thanks again for your patience with your patients." BM

"Thank you so very much for taking incredible care of my dad. I really appreciate it. I can't thank you enough for all you have done." SS, following melanoma surgery

"I would be remiss if I did not take the time to write you this letter to thank you for the professional way you handled my surgery. In the last ten years, I have had about ten surgeries but I have never been treated with more professional, kind, and courteous service as I received from you and your staff. You took your time to explain all procedures and what I could expect from you. Thanks a million and I wish you continued success in your practice. I'm sure you will be able to make a lot of people happy. God bless you and keep up the good work. Your happy patient, MC" following Mohs surgery for twice recurrent cancer

"Thank you for the very professional and personal care you and your staff provided me yesterday. No one looks forward to surgery of any kind. But your manner and clarity of explanations help to set me at ease. Alice and Shelly were very warm, very caring, yet very professional. They explained each part of the process, leaving no uncertainties in my mind about what to expect next. It was very assuring as we moved through the procedure. Melissa was only in for a brief time but expressed warmth in her manner. My previous contact with your office with questions about the procedure was greeted with full explanations and a courteous spirit. In this setting, warmth without professionalism leaves one uncertain; professionalism without warmth leaves one uncomfortable. Gladly, you and your staff combined both warmth and professionalism." S

"I just want to thank you for the good job you did on my nose and I appreciate your kind, sweet staff. I am so glad God put me in your hands. Keep up the good work." B, following Mohs excision of nasal basal cell carcinoma

"We are grateful for your gifted surgical skills and thankful for your wonderful compassion." SM

"Just a note to thank you for being so diligent in your pursuit of skin cancer. Because you caution 'on the safe side', you were able to detect my basal cell (carcinoma) very early. I also want to thank you for referring me to Dr. ___ . He was a dear! Thanks again for your care! ME

"Thank you for the opportunity to spend time in your practice learning about Mohs surgery and more particularly the art of reconstruction. I sincerely appreciate the time you have taken to teach during our acquaintance and especially that you have tailored your teaching to my future plans. You are the only professor to have done that so far. This week has given me a much greater appreciation for what you do and a great deal of insight into future standards for appropriate skin cancer treatment and management. I look forward to a day at the other side of a long tunnel when I will be honored to call you a colleague." MN, medical student

"Words can never convey the depth of our gratitude in the treatment of our mother. Going the extra mile with follow-up phone calls and the prayers were greatly appreciated to relieve our fears and concerns. The kindness and compassion that was shown to her and even to us was so deeply felt. Thank you and your staff for everything. BB

"I'd like to express my sincere appreciation to Dr. Becknell for being so professional, humorous demeanor and genuine concern. My daughter has battled warts on her face and hands for years and we have seen multiple doctors over the years. We are so happy we found DAK and Dr. Becknell , her warts are now gone and she has no scars or blemishes…People have noticed the difference and we have told everyone about him. Again, please let him know that we thank him very much.

"I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciated the care, concern, and compassion you showed me yesterday when I was in for surgery. Thanks so much for explaining everything to me and for being so thorough. You have a wonderful manner about you and you really set my mind at ease. Your willingness to allow me to call you at home if I had any problems AND your phone call last night to check up on me, put you over the top! I have great respect for you you and will not hesitate referring others to you. You have many fine qualities and you are a gifted man. Thank you again for sharing your gifts with me." MAE

"Thank you for taking patience with me and my hard of hearing problem. I also like your manner of "doctor to patient" attitude. I appreciate all you did and your patience with me. I know it's hard to talk to a person 88 years old and particularly nearly deaf but both me and my daughter appreciate your patience and service. If I have a problem, I'll see you and know it will be taken care of." Thanks, BS

"You are truly a miracle worker! Thank you so very much for taking such good care of GW. We appreciate all of you so much." JB

"It is a miracle to look at Gordon and not see the large, red, and very irritating sores that were there. Dr. Dhir, from Dermatology Associates of Kentucky, did the surgeries…I thank God and Dr. Dhir and his assistants, Lisa, and the other wonderful women, for their most patient, kind, and loving treatment of Gordon. He is a special person and I know God has helped us to get this far with his recovery from a most dramatic period in his life." The Central Record, October 26, 2006 (newspaper column)

It is not in my genetic makeup to make a practice of writing these types of letters, but the compassion, enthusiasm, reassurance, and medical expertise shown by you and your staff more than warrant it."

"A royal thank you for treating me like a queen." EC

"I don't know anyone who says, "I'm so happy I'm going to the doctor today". However, when I arrived at your office, Lisa and Carol did an excellent job of making me very comfortable. I met Shelly at a follow-up appointment and she did an excellent job. When you called me the night of my surgery, it was a pleasant surprise. I know I'm not the only patient and your call was appreciated. It brought back memories of my childhood and our family doctor. Personally, I like you, feel you are a good doctor, and would recommend your facility to anyone. I spent a lot of time with your staff and they support you with their kindness and compassion to the patients. Your receptionist was kind enough to locate my cell phone number and put it on my records. I didn't look forward to coming to your office, but you and your staff made it an experience I can remember with fondness." AS, following Mohs surgery for skin cancer

"I just wanted to let you know how much your kindness touched my heart. Thank you!" NS

"Thank you so much for taking such personal care of me. I appreciate all the consideration I was given, the organization, and the promptness of my treatment and your checking on me." SS, following Mohs surgery for skin cancer

"Just a note to thank you for my recent surgery. The graft has taken well and it seems to be healing nicely. Since I was diagnosed with myeloma and lymphoma, I have had occasion to be treated by a number of doctors and surgeons. I can honestly say you have been one of the very best. You were friendly, took the time to explain things in easy-to-understand terms. You are a very skilled surgeon. I was treated more as a friend, not just another number. I will end by saying it's never fun to go to a series of doctors, but you make it as enjoyable as possible. Thanks again." -- PS

Thanks so much for a job well done and for treating your patients as people, not simply a paycheck. May God's blessings be yours as you continue to use the special gifts He has given you." -- In his love, RS

"Thank you for being so great when I was there!" -- JM

"I wanted to apologize and thank you for taking good care of me on Thursday. I am so embarassed that I kept passing out (a 'first' for multiple episodes). But I appreciate teh care you and the nurses gave me, they were especially sweet. I am very happy with my Restylane injections and should I decide to get them again, I know I'll be in good hands. The things women go through for beauty, right?" -- CW

"I just wanted to thank you for your call Friday after my neck surgery. I greatly appreciate your concern. Even though skin cancer is considered to have a high cure rate, it is upsetting to find out that you have any kind of cancer. You and your wonderful staff have made a difficult situation easier to understand and cope with." -- Sincerely, LC (following Mohs surgery for skin cancer)

"This thank you is a bit overdue, but it was not forgotten. Your kindness and professionalism, as well as that of your staff, was very much appreciated. As a healthcare worker, I take pride in treating my patients like I myself would like to be treated. It is quite evident that you each do that for your patients, too. Such admirable qualities are hard to find. Thank you for the excellent care that you gave my mother. I will never forget your kindness and the kindness of everyone who also helped care for her." -- DB, RDH (following Mohs surgery for skin cancer)

"I just wanted to thank you for taking such good care of my mother through two separate procedures. You have a kind and calming manner that is very rare today in the medical field, especially with the elderly, the ones that need it the most. And it is very much appreciated. Thank you again. May God bless you and your family." -- DB (following Mohs surgery for facial skin cancer)

"Merry Christmas to all of you, with a special thanks for the care you gave through my laser resurfacing. Every day I look in the mirror I see a new me with an improving complexion. I will continue to be a living testimony of your excellent care. Please give a special "holiday hello' to Teresa. Love," -- KH

"I've been searching for the right situation to use this (thank you) card for a long time. Can't think of a more appropriate time than now to express my sincere gratitude for your willingness to help me achieve admired post surgical appearance results." -- GF (following Mohs surgery for facial skin cancer)

"Thank you for the Botox injection. Not only does it make my forehead look better, but has lessened my headaches! Also, thank you for being patient and teaching! Thanks!" -- TH

"It has been a little over a week since my last subcision procedure and things are going and looking great! I want you to know how much I greatly appreciate your help, kindness, and concern. You are one of the few doctors who leaves you with the pleasing impression that they honestly care about their patients. I also appreciate and thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to re-do my knee scars, especially at no cost. Your patience, time, and care are greatly appreciated. I am so absolutely pleased with my leg that now each and every day I am able to look at it, and for once, to not be ashamed of the scars that were once there. Thank you so much. I will always be grateful to you."  FG

"Hey this is really working. It doesn't even seem real. Thank you so much. I haven't seen any brusing and I have very little soreness. It wasn't until last night until I seen it actually start working. Of course I am still wearing purple rings under my arms. But that doesn't concern me because I am actually wearing one light gray t-shirt and I am dry. I could have never dreamed this possible and everyone there seen how much I sweated. I have so many things planned right now and I am so excited that I will be able to enjoy it instead of worrying about me sweating. Please if you could change your website and add this to your treatment for uses of Botox. I know that it is expensive but I know that there is someone else like me who will benefit from this wonderful medicine. I also wanted to mention that I think everyone of you was so great to me. Even though I was scared all of you did make it a very cool trip. Thanks so much and I will let you know of any changes. Until my next visit I will be enjoying the summer. I will see you at your new location. Again I can't say thanks enough."  J. E. (following Botox for underarm sweating)

"I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate all you've done for me. Since my birthmark is gone, I feel like a new person. I can't stop looking at myself. You and Theresa have been so wonderful to me. I just wanted to let you know how much it means to me to have gotten to know the both of you. Thanks." HS (following three staged surgeries to remove a giant birthmark measuring 8 x 6 inches on the left breast)

"Thank you for the Dermabrasion. My nose looks 100% better. You are the BEST doctor I know, and Theresa you are by far the best nurse I ever seen.

"I know you don't remember me, but you removed a skin cancer from the side of my nose. I jokingly asked you to make me beautiful, well I still am not beautiful, but my nose looks wonderful. You have to look very carefully to see you incision. I am very happy and pleased with my nose. You and your staff treated me with so much care. I really appreciate it. Something that was so scary to me was handled so that I felt reassured and comfortable. Than you for your care of me.  Affectionately, your patient EKS"

"I just wanted you to know that I feel that my surgery experience was much more pleasant than I had expected because of your expertise along with your gentle, caring nature. You can't know how much that unexpected phone call meant to me. Comments from family and friends have been that they cannot believe that it has been only a week since the surgery when they saw my forehead. I think they consider you a magician, too!! I hope I never need this type of (skin cancer) surgery again but will not be concerned about the doctor is you would be available. Thank you again.  Sincerely, GC"

"Just a brief note to express my satisfaction with the outcome of the laser surgery thus far (I've actually had compliments on my face afterward) and to say I'm looking forward to completing the process. In particular, I appreciated you taking time out of your busy schedule to answer my questions after the initial consultation. I'm concerned you took offense which I certainly did not intend - it just takes me a long time to make major decisions (I tend to ruminate over them too). Also, I want to compliment all your staff because they're so courteous whenever I call with a question, and they're so helpful. As a matter of fact, I recommended you highly to a friend who is now considering laser surgery on her face. She sees a doctor at UK but I said she should consider using your services. In short, I'm glad I put my face in your hands. Take care and I'll see you in Feb or March."  CS

"Hello from Cincinnati! I just wanted to tell you again what a wonderful job you did on my face. As you said it would, each month it gets better and better. If you did not know me, you would never notice it. I am sending this picture so you can see for yourself. Maybe you can put in my file next to the ones that I look beat up in. Ha. Anyway, I really appreciate all of you, not only the great work you do but the care and kindness you showed me. It meant more than you will ever know. Thank you again and God Bless.  Love, KL"  (following Mohs surgery for skin cancer and reconstruction of upper lip in a 24 year old female)

Thank you so very much!"  RM

"Thank you so much for the wonderful care you and your staff gave me. The removal of my skin cancer was a breeze. I very much appreciated the straight forward information and genuine care you gave. I hope dealing with UKHMO is not too big of a headache for your staff. I am thankful they were willing to go an extra mile to get my visits approved. If I am lucky, UK will realize you and your associates at DAK are the best choice for their dermatology dept. That way, I can continue to have the excellent care you give to your patients.  Thanks again."  KH

"Thank you for your kindness. I wish I could put into words what your thoughtfulness means to us. I am so amazed at the things you have done for P___ and myself that you didn't have to do. It is very greatly appreciated."  JE  (after Mohs surgery for skin cancer)

"Merry Christmas and a Happy Holiday to you, Theresa, Melissa, and staff. I thank you so much for your thoughts, prayers, and wonderful cards. There is not another doctor like that. You care! That is wonderful."  SH (after Mohs surgery)

"Looking back through the year of 2003, I along with my family have faced many stressful and trying times traveling back and forth from doctor's office to doctor's office. I have to say, we are very fortunate to have such a caring doctor along with staff who are always willing to help in anyway possible. Thank you and all your staff for not giving up on me and traveling down this long and hard road with me. Even though the pain is not always tolerable, you have always been straight up and honest with me and had my best interest in mind, not many doctors are like that and take things as personal. I guess that is what makes your so special. And for all the phone calls you have made, checking on me after surgeries, that means the world to me. I just hope you and your staff realize how special you are to me and my family. Without you, this journey might not have lasted this long. Thanks for everything in helping me fight this disease"  PE (after four years of multiple Mohs surgeries for organ transplant-related skin cancers)

"I wanted to thank you for all your help. I also wanted to compliment you on your kindness and great attention to detail. You always make time to talk and made me feel at ease through a tense procedure. I have been to many doctors in my life and would rate you as the best I have ever known. Your attentiveness, compassion, and ability are without any possible reproach. I can actually say I looked forward to my doctor visits rather than avoided them. I wish you continued success.  Thank you truly, TN"

"I have worked at a hospital for over ten years so I kind of have a real insight to health care facilities. The minute I walked in your door for surgery, the better I felt. I would rate my experience with your staff as outstanding. The people who work at Dermatology Associates of Kentucky are very good at what they do. I was treated by smiling, friendly faces who loved their job and loved their patients. The whole staff at Dermatology Associates were very professional in their job duties, but most importantly were very concerned and caring towards me as their patient. I would also like to thank Dr. Dhir who is as good as it gets in being a physician / surgeon and giving patient care. I?ll close by saying that in this day and time when health care is criticized for various reasons, it is very refreshing to have an organization such as yours doing it the right way. Since my experience with your people, I feel very good about health care and will let others know that you are not only dedicated to your craft but are also dedicated to your patients. Thank you again for making this a very pleasant experience." WY
