I am writing this letter to convey to you my eternal gratitude for the lazer surgery that you performed on son Cory. A mere letter cannot express the profound effect that the surgery has had on my son. He was in an accident 12 years ago which caused him to become paralyzed from the shoulders down. Before the acciddent, he wore contacts. In the years following the accident, he had many reoccuring eye infections and when forced to wear his glasses, he would get cuts and sores on his face and ears from the pressure of the glasses as he was confined mostly to his bed. We decided that the only solution was to see if Cory was a good candidate for lazer surgery. I had heard by word of mouth and researching that you were one of the best in this field. I called your office and spoke to one of your wonderful assistants "Chloe". I advised her of Cory's condition. She quoted me a price, I thanked her but told her that due to the medical expenses that occur with Cory's condition I could not afford to have the lazer surgery done at this time. The next dat I recieved a call from you personally Dr. Elkins. I have dealt with many doctors over the course of Cory's condition and rarely if ever, has had a doctor taken the time from their busy schedule to personally call me. You talked to me at the length about Cory's condition and by the end of our conversation you advised me that in renewing all the facts that you would at no cost to Cory do the lazer surgey. I was in the room when you performed the surgery and throughout the entire surgery you were constantly speaking to Cory in such a calm and reassuring manner and putting him entirely at ease. I also would like to commend you on the wonderful staff that you emply. In preparing for the surgery there were many tests that had to be done prior to the surgery and were very difficult as Cory cannot move at all is confined to a wheelchair. Your staff not only found a solution for doing the tests but also was able to get Cory from his wheelchair to the surgery chair. In closing, Dr. Elk
