Testimony
“Dr. Young and staff were the best for me. When I walked into the office I was a basket case after having been hit with breast cancer and not ready to give up they gave me back life. Since the breast reconstruction I am a much better person. I was able to wear my swim suit on the last cruise without having to cover up. I sometimes forget I had surgery. Medical professionals have complimented the work Dr. Young did on a regular basis. I am so glad I found her, she is the best.”
“Dear Dr. McClung, I don’t know where to begin to thank you for the surgery you performed on me. The entire experience has been a positive one. I truly want to thank you for giving me the figure I always dreamed of. Not only did your excellent skills transform my body, it helped increase my self esteem and confidence in ways I never thought possible. Thank you.”
Dear Dr. Rast, I could never thank you enough for what you have given me. I appreciate all of your hard work and your skill as a surgeon. Even though my diagnosis was great (no spread and no invasion of cancer), the surgery left me feeling surprisingly lost. Your skill at reconstruction is truly a gift. I am grateful that you gave me back my sense of self. Your work is so needed and brings light to many who are going throught dark moments. Thank you.”
“I just wanted to send a quick note! I had breast implants 5 years ago by Dr. Rast and I have never been happier. I have people always asking me in the summer time if my boobs are real or fake which is exactly what I wanted. A natural looking implant. I have referred many people to Dr. Rast and plan to send many more. The staff were extremely nice and made you feel at ease with the whole process. I have had too many compliments to count on the great job he did. Very natural look. Thank you again to Dr. Rast and everyone in the office who make the process a great experience.”
“Dear Dr. McClung, Amy and Shelley: I just wanted to thank each of you for the blessing you have been to me this past year. Each office visit is an encouragement, even when complications and physical issues seem to be an anxiety to me. You have each been blessed with wonderful gifts and talents. I am so glad I was directed to this office for my physical needs. Thank you for not only the physical aspect, but for encouraging, comforting and the friendship you have shown me.”
“Dr. Young and Staff, A long overdue thank you to my Dr. and her staff. It was 2 years ago this month that you performed major surgery to restore my body. There is not a day that goes by that I don’t thank God for your expertise and profound skill. My results are better than I ever hoped for. What you gave back to me is priceless, and the impact you’ve made in my life is substantial. Everything from office visits to my O.R. experiences were handled with professionalism and compassionate care. In case your work life, which no doubt is stress filled, becomes challenging and at times very difficult please remember that you have made a positive difference in my life and in the lives of many. I am filled with gratitude that I chose a Dr. that is of the highest caliber. What you have done for me is given back my life as I knew it before. What value can be placed on that? A million thank yous would never suffice. God Bless you.
“Dr. McClung – You are a great surgeon and a fabulous sculptor. Thank you for freeing me from my cocoon. I’m ready to fly!”
“Dr. Joseph Cannova is a perfectionist. I lived in Los Angeles and had a Beverly Hills surgeon. My scars were painful and unsightly. Dr. Cannova is a miracle worker. My results have been wonderful. I have seen him again, and could never go to anyone else. He is the best, and so is his staff.”
“Dr. McClung – As a part of celebrathing my 50th birthday this Wednesday, I would be remiss if I didn’t send you a big thank you for your work. After leaving your office last week, I realized that I am always talking to you about the next surgery rather than telling you thanks. Even after losing the 126 pounds my body image wound not have changed without the surgery that you did. You did an AMAZING job and I am forever grateful to you and Amy. I know that God led me to the right surgeon. You are extremely talented and have a great gift. Thank you. I look forward to next January when you will complete your work on my transformation (and also maybe someday when you might do my calves)! Thanks again for the wonderful work that you did. You are a gifted surgeon!”
“Please express my heart felt appreciation to your staff for the best service I have ever received from any doctors office. Your staff always treats me like a Queen. I can’t thank your staff enough for making me happy.”
“Dr. Cannova- Sometimes life gifts us with special people who guide us and care for us in special ways. You are truly one of these people! You are the consummate professional and a credit to the medical community. Thank you for listening and your expertise in creating a “better, fresher” me. Thank you for the light you shine!”
“Dear Dr. Young – Thank you for all that you have done for me over the past six months. This has been a year of new experiences and challenges for me personally. And while it has been a journey that I did not expect or choose, it has been a good journey because of great people like you who have been there to provide me vision, support, encouragement and care. I will never forget all of you at Associated Plastic Surgeons. Thank you so much for being God’s heart and hands in my life!”
“Dear Dr. Gutek – I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate you “fixing” me. I am excited and looking forward to my upcoming surgery! I think you are an amazing doctor and I am so glad to have found you!”
“I had three consultations with different offices and this office was the best and most courteous in town.”
“To Mark McClung and Staff: Just a short note of thanks for the great care, endless smiles & professional excellence I’ve received. One thing I would like to pass on to other breast cancer patient is that for me every aspect of my illness, surgery & ongoing recovery has been a positive uplifting experience, something totally unexpected. I can only wish the same for your other patients. Although we still have several months of reconstruction I’m fairly sure we could add a few facial procedures, just look what you’ve started. HA. Again many thanks and all the best to you all.”
“Dear Dr. Young, Thank you for changing my life! I now will have opportunities that I never dreamed of….because of your skills & talents, I am a changed man – I appreciate the way you treated me, you made me feel special – not just another fat guy! My life is so much better & things are only going to get better & more enjoyable. WOW!! What a difference for me – I feel great & owe it all to you & your fantastic assistants. I am so blessed to have had you for my doctor (I need to thank Dr. Joyce again). Thanks again – You are THE best!”
“Everyone on Dr. Cannova’s team is exceptional!”
“I really appreciate Dr. Gutek’s skill, professional excellence and experience, as well as his assistant’s care. I feel I am in good hands! Thank you!”
“Dr. Rast, There aren’t enough words to thank you for all you’vedone for me. A breast cancer diagnosis can be overwhelming withall the decisions and unknowns. I will always remember out first appointment when you so patiently explained my options and answered my seemingly endless questions about reconstruction. Your compassion and knowledge calmed my fears and gave me hope. And as time went on, your surgical expertise – “assembly” as you referred to it – gave me a sense of being physically “normal” once again. I am so impressed and pleased with the results, and couldn’t be more satisfied. I never minded waiting my turn at appointments because I knew you were taking the time to provide the same empathy and respect that you showed me to yet another new patient who would soon discover what a gem of a surgeon they had. Your skill, calm demeanor, good natured personality and kindness carried me through this phase of my journey. I am eternally grateful! Quite simply, thank you. Please continue your commitment to helping breast cancer patients restore their appearance. The world needs more physicians like you.”
“I had reconstruction surgery after breast cancer and double mastectomy. It is wonderful and I am happy doctors can do this for women. Mine look great!”
“I have sent three people to Dr. Cannova! I love the staff and how nice they are!”
“Dr. Young and staff were wonderful. I have (and will continue) to recommend her.”
“Dear Dr. Gutek, Thank you for the lovely set of bosoms and your caring and expert attention! You and your team were all such a pleasure to work with and made my experience an anxiety-free one.”
“Dear Dr. Gutek, Thank you so much for fixing my eyes, I truly appreciate your help. You are the greatest doctor in the world, what a delight it has been to come to your office, everyone is so wonderful, and especially YOU! Have a terrific summer!”
“I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for the excellence in service I have received from not only you but your nurses and staff. The care and consideration I have received from the beginning of this journey to the end has been remarkable. I appreciate most your skill, honesty and ability to make me feel comfortable and understood.”
“Dr. Young, I want you to know that I will be thinking of you and your wonderful staff this holiday season! I am so grateful to have found you, and would not even consider going to anyone else as long as you are available. Because of your work, I have been given one of the greatest gifts I could ever want……CONFIDENCE!
“Dr. Rast and APS Staff, Thank you for your outstanding professionalism during my breast cancer reconstruction process the past year. I appreciate so much your expertise, efficiency and respect through every appointment and procedure. You smiles and kindness were welcome during a very trying period of my life. Thanks for making a difference!”
“To Dr. McClungand Amy, I had upper eyelid surgery. I want to tell you how pleased I am with my results. My eyes look amazing! Recently I was looking through some old pre-surgery photos. Shock. What a dramatic change, yet still subtle. Dr. McClung, you are not only a very great-hearted man, but a masterful ’skin artist’ as well. Again, I thank you.”
“Very pleased with Dr. Young.”
“Merry Christmas, and may God bless you for all the help you provide to others, especially on your missions.”
“You were very kind and caring to an old woman. Quite thoughtful too. That was nice.”
“APS did an Absolutely wonderful job!! Dr. McClung and his staff are Amazing and I will recommend Dr. McClung and this office to anyone who is in need of your services. Thanks you.”
“Dear Dr. Cannova – Thank you very much for the special care and attention you have given to me since 2004. In fact not only do I view you as a sculptor, but a very compassionate doctor who is a perfectionist in his work. Making a decision to have cosmetic surgery is a very big decision for a woman. In 2004 I visited four surgeons and I chose you because of your reputation, experience and excellent final results. I was also quite moved by the work you do on women who need breast reconstruction from cancer. Your passion was very evident the first time I met you. I am very happy to share my experience with anyone considering you as their surgeon for cosmetic surgery.”
“Dear Dr. Rast – I cannot tell you how much you have changed my life. This surgery is helping me feel whole again, for that I am forever grateful.”
“Dr. Gutek – Thank you for helping to keep my face from looking OLDER! I appreciate your skills as a plastic surgeon and your kind mannerisms. My daughter and I both thank you are very good and glad we have you as our surgeon. I like the way you reassure me that my face is still a work in progress and healing. All of your nurses and office staff are very good, helpful and knowledgeable. You must be proud of them, they represent you and your practice very well.”
“Dr. Young – I just wanted to say thank you. Since my breast reduction by back pain is gone as well as the headaches! I have more energy and I look forward to each new day! Thank you so much.”
“Dr McClung- I don’t know where to begin to thank you for the new me. Your gift, your skill, your talent, your empathy – I am a recipient of it all and I thank you so very much. I am a newly “looking person” not a new or different person, but one who feels and looks years younger, thanks all to you. You’re amazing. There are three specials days now in my life: the birth of my son, my marriage and your gift of a soaring self esteem. You are God blessed so use your gift to let others enjoy the happiness you have bestowed upon me. I will see you soon for a final visit but for now, again a thank you from my very soul for making me feel so GOOD – pretty too!”
I wanted to express my deepest gratitude for the excellence in service I have received from not only you, but your nurses and staff. The care I received from the beginning of this journey to the end has been remarkable.
