    It was very smooth procedureand I loved how my guest had text messages to see exactly what I'm doing. It was nice that even the surgeon called him, I wouldn't think they would do that.

    I thought everybody from the receptionist all the way up to the doctor were amazing, caring people. They listened, they got to the issue and resolved it the way I wanted it resolved and it was sensible too. I really will keep on going to this clinic even though it's a little far away. I don't care. They're amazing people.

    Please take care to keep bathroom clean. I was instructed to take two hibiclens showers at home to prep for surgery which I did. I was disappointed in the dirtiness of the bathrooms I used prior to my surgery. (wet toilet seats)

    The only part that was very difficult was being rushed through post op due to the time of day. Also, I had been called about an hour before the scheduled arrival time and asked if I could come early. We scrambled to get there early, but ended in surgery over an hour after the original scheduled time. I understand delays and changes, but it was hard on my old body especially with my chronic dryness.

    The only issue I had with my procedure is no one told me about the bruising that would or could occur around my incision sites. One of my bruises covered the upper half of my arm and I didn't expect that. I would have liked some prior knowledge of that. Otherwise, i couldn't have been more pleased with my experience.

    Hi, I just wanted to say that my experience with Dr. Galle was just an absolute pleasure. He is the ultimate professional and during my entire pre-consultation, surgery, and post-consultation, he literally held my hand right through all the different steps in the process. So I appreciate him and the work that he's done, and I hope that you can acknowledge that on my behalf. Thanks.
