Dear Dr. Nezhat, I realize that many months have passed since my surgery. Since you are a physician, I know that you understand the delay. I really wanted to sit down with adequate time to convey my gratitude.

I sought several opinions regarding my hysterectomy prior to coming to Atlanta. Due to my previous surgeries, a laparotomy from MVA and C-section, no surgeon would attempt laparoscopic hysterectomy. They all said that it could not be done.

I was scheduled for surgery in Pensacola, Florida. Fortunately, my sister insisted that I schedule a consultation with you before this procedure. You said, “Let’s prove them wrong.” I had extensive adhesions with bowel adhered to my abdominal wall. I do not even want to speculate what would have happened if I had undergone open abdominal surgery. I know that my surgery was a challenge, but I was recovered in 2 weeks without any complications. In fact, everything seems to work better!

I knew that I was in competent hands the moment that I met you. I appreciate your attention to detail. As a physician, I think you are a great doctor.
