Great Work!


It's never too late to post a letter of appreciation! This one was sent to Dr. Barry McClellan and is dated April 9, 2008.


"Dear Dr. McClellan,

I would like to take this opportunity to share my very positive experience that I recently had with Sunnybrook and Dr. Marks in connection with my ACL replacement surgery. It was my first time to have surgery or any medical porcedure for that matter and I must say the whole operation was very professional and efficient. While it is not possible for me to remember all of the names of those that were involved in my surgery I would like to say that the medical and support staff that assisted me were all first class professionals. This includes my initial contact and visit with Dr. Marks' and his office, the pre-op session a week before my surgery, the pre-surgery prep and the post surgery recovery. It is hard to tell what actually went on while I was in the operating room as I was knocked out-but all indications are that it was a big success!


Please pass this note on to all the departments involved as I would like to thank them for the excellent medical care they proviced to me.

Your Truly,

Mr. C."
