Re: A surgeon chooses Dr. Mont...Why?

[Guest guest]

Welcome, Angus!!

As another " Mont Alumni " I can assure you that even though you are

thrilled with the outcome of your operation now - it will only get

better!!

Plus, we just LOVE having doctors on board! We've all made our

decisions for various reason (mine was the sheer gut instinct of not

removing healthy bone when all I suffered from was simple

arthritis); but it's always a pleasure to see the " truly learned "

opting for resurfacing

The important thing to remember, now that you're the patient, is to

take it easy and heal properly. Pamper yourself a bit

Best wishes!

Hi Hugh,

I am happy to hear of your equally great experience at Sinai. Both

Dr.'s really do have quite a team. Keep up the good healing!

Incidentally, to all fellow surfer's and potential surfers, I

sincerely apologize for not returning your calls as I said I would in

my initial post. I mistakenly erased any numbers you may have left.

If you wish to try me again please do so. Sorry!

Best to you all,

Angus
