“I will gladly recommend your practice “

Dear Dr. Lowen,

I wanted to take a moment to thank you and your staff for what has been a very pleasant and painless experience for me with my recent breast augmentation surgery.

Your office staff has been extremely helpful and supportive, and I have appreciated your painstaking attention to detail and your perfectionism.

I was nervous before the surgery itself, due to many unsolicited comments I’d received from acquaintances who’d had breast augmentations in the past. However, I was pleasantly surprised with how gentle your process was, and how quickly I healed. I had my surgery on a Thursday morning, and had intended to return to work the following Monday. I received an emergency call from work on Friday morning, and had to make a 60 mile commute on Friday afternoon, and work for six hours that day. I felt amazingly well, and had no problems at all working that afternoon. In fact, I never did have to take the pain medication you prescribed – just OTC ibuprofen handled the minor discomfort, and I only had to take it for the first 2 days. Only the day after my surgery, I was back at work and also taking care of my two young children with no trouble at all!

Your office staff has been extremely helpful and supportive, and I have appreciated your painstaking attention to detail and your perfectionism.

I will gladly recommend your practice to friends and family, and will certainly be a returning client!

Thanks for your professionalism,
