It took me a long time to decide if surgery was something I wanted to pursue but the moment I met you and your staff I knew I’d found the people I wanted to do it. Your professionalism, compassion, and kindness meant more to me than I’ll ever be able to tell you. And despite having one minor complication, if I had to go back to the O.R. and awake, I wouldn’t have wanted it to be with anyone else you truly are the best of the best thank you for helping me and love myself again.

Dr. Salemy, Thank you so very much for giving me my smile back- you’re the best.

Dear Dr. Salemy, I want to tell you why I believe that your service as a plastic surgeon is so valuable -especially for women. I believe that at the core of every woman’s heart is the desire to be beautiful whether she admits it or not. Certainly there are many other qualities to aspire to: kindness compassion intelligence wisdom but it can’t be denied that deep down a woman wants to be appreciated for her beauty. I think that is why it is so hard for women to get older… outer beauty fades with time. When a person chooses to as they say “have some work done” and consequently feels so much better about herself the value of that just can’t be measured. Thank you for pursuing excellence in your profession.

Dr. Salemy & Staff thank you SO VERY MUCH for all your help and support in getting me through my rhinoplasty. I’m excited I can’t stop looking at the results exclamation I appreciate what all of you have done for me and couldn’t have asked for a better practice!

I just wanted to let Dr. Salemy and staff know how much I appreciate their care and compassion during my surgery. Dr. Salamy you are truly amazing surgeon with a wonderful caring staff.

Dr. Salemy & Staff, First of all I want to thank all of you for my wonderful experience. I really am lucky to have found Dr. Salemy. I felt confidence in him since the first time I met him and my confidence boosted even after the surgery. I had a wonderful experience and look forward to sharing the experience with others. Thank you! P.S. thank you all so much. It was all a pleasure and joyful experience that changed my life!

Dear Dr. Salemy, Thank you for your amazing work period it was a pleasure dealing with you and your staff. You’ve given me back my confidence.

I just wanted to thank you for taking such good care of me during my surgery for your gentle and kind demeanor in working with me after the process. Your approach and compassion is very much appreciated.

Dr. Salemy, Just a note to thank you for giving me back my face! I appreciate your patience as I was such a fearful patient! I couldn’t believe the improvement when I saw the photo comparison. It was quite dramatic. Again thanks for your kindness professionalism and superior skill. I have newfound confidence and no longer feel “invisible” to others.

Dr. Salemy, I wanted to let you know how grateful I am for all you’ve done for me. You’re professional yet easygoing demeanor has made my experience with you the best a patient could ever ask for. To say thank you could never fully express my gratitude. Truly there are no words. What you’ve given me is so much more than just bigger breasts you have given me a gift far greater than outward beauty I see. For the first time I feel feminine comfortable in my own skin and have an inner peace that I can’t really explain. Not only have you transformed my outside but you have transformed my inside too… and for that I am forever grateful. You are an amazing gifted doctor and you have truly changed my life! With all my thanks and appreciation

For the thoughts behind this message are especially warm and true and words cannot express the special thanks this brings to you. Thank you to all who helped take me from “nervous jitters” to “extremely happy”!
