Nov 22, 2023
Dear Dr. Raul VasquezI havent ever written a letter like this one before. Just wanted to let you know that I have been singing your praises ever since my surgery. In my case I wanted to express my sincere thanks to you for your heip in treating my back . Your highly attuned attention caught many diagnostic inconsistencies, allowing you to tailor my surgery as you saw fit, cutting edge “see what I did there” versus keeping it standard.It is very likely that I might not be here today, as far going through with the surgery were it not for your expertise.You bedside manner was amazing and I appreciated everything you did to help make my surgical experience as pleasant as possible. I finally went home and feeling ok not perfect of course however at this point all is looking well. I am hopeful the end result will be EXCELLENT. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for being such an extraordinary neurosurgeon, & problem-solving doctor.
