Dr. Arntz, thank you so much for all that you have done. You took my pain away and helped so in many other ways. I cannot thank you enough!
I want to take this opportunity to express my thanks to you and your staff for the very pleasant experience I received on my hand surgery. I have had several surgeries over my lifetime and I can honestly say, that I have never been treated with such care and kindness. For that, I want to say a special thanks to you and your staff. Many times older people do not receive such consideration and kindness.
I just wanted to send a little note to thank you for such an amazing job you did on my shoulder and rotator cuff two years ago. It’s like it never happened! I talk to people who had the surgery and years later they are still in pain…I say, “wrong doctor!”
Thank you again for taking such good care of me.
