Dear Dr. Smith:
Thank you for putting me back on the path of physical freedom!
I had lost the way along with my independence through years of back pain and discouragement. At 38 years old, I thought my self too young to accept defeat but until I met you, I couldn’t see the light at the end of the tunnel. You gave me hope and guided me towards health again. I found it impressive for a surgeon to suggest other solutions than surgery! You gave me hope and gained my trust.
Unfortunately, after exhausting all my options (physical therapy, medication, epidural injections), I had no other choice but to go under the knife, but luckily for me, I was in the best hands possible; literally! You worked your magic on me, utilizing your experience and the latest technology, and I am finally on the road to recovery. I am grateful to have been going through this journey with you Dr. Smith. I appreciate the time that you took to answer all my questions thoroughly and your witty sense of humor made me smile each time I saw you, even during the serious and more painful time.
Getting back surgery has definitely been the most difficult challenge that I ever encountered so far in my life but it is very encouraging when I see the little successes that I gain every day. I went in with realistic expectations and found out that hard work and patience pays off. My sacrifices and efforts taught me tenacity and that I am only as strong as the support of my loved ones.
I am a new woman and I stand strong and tall; this is the beginning of the rest of my life!
Thank you! Lili
