"Hi again, Dr. Lee....
Following review posted (headline "Doesn't Get Any Better") on those websites where could find listing for you or Changes Plastic Surgery, including Kudzu:
'After having superb results and an excellent, glitch free experience with Dr. Lee on my tummy tuck and breast augmentation, I came back for a face and neck lift, upper and lower eyes, and dermabrasion. Once again, Dr. Lee not only met, but far exceeded my expectations. To say he goes the extra mile is an understatement. He’s not only a brilliant surgeon, but an artist and world class human being. My face looks incredibly natural – just decades younger. The person I am inside is now there for the world to see. The care and support Dr. Lee and the Changes Plastic Surgery staff gives, both pre and post-surgery is phenomenal. They’re an unbeatable team. No one who’s seen my results and heard about my experience would even consider going anywhere else.'
Mean every word of it. Thanks again. You're the best!" –

It was so wonderous to feel smooth skin on my belly for the first time in 23 years since the birth of my first child. As the days passed and the results of your work were revealed, I continued to be amazed at your skills. You are truly an artist. I feel very blessed to have had my fondest desires met by your creative vision. My thanks also to your staff, Cheryl and Barbara are efficient and gentle and sweet, and Melanie and Karen were very helpful.
-Thank you! Susan "

"I’m overwhelmed by the amazing transformation due to the surgery you performed only two weeks ago. After all of the dieting and exercise I’ve done throughout my life, especially the last ten years, I finally feel like my physical appearance reflects all the determination it took for me to keep working with my weight issues. Thank you so very much for everything-you and your staff, made me feel entirely comfortable during what easily could have been an awkward experience. You have been kind and genuine and so generous; I just want you to know just how much I appreciate what you’ve done. And tell your wife, Lisa, she was right! -Infinite thank you, Shari"
"I never got to say good-by when you left on your well- deserved vacation, so here I am a month later, needing to let you know how much I appreciate all you did for Jane during that long month of July 2002. When I think back about the progression and course of that infection, I remember so well, waiting for you to let us know what the current status was, and listening to you explain it in understandable terms; and answering questions no matter how late in the day-you did it all! I could go on, but all I really want to say is thank you so very much; I won’t ever forget it, and God bless you always." -Jeanne
"Please accept my sincere gratitude for the “Changes” you have made in my life. Your dedication to your profession is profound. I would also like to thank Melanie and Cheryl for their kindness, understanding and professionalism. -Thank you so much, Rebecca"
"I came to you as a 30 year old mother of three, facing issues I never saw coming. I didn’t know what to do, how to act, what to expect, and it turns out, I didn’t have to. I was a patient, but you saw a young woman. The utter grace & humanity, the profound skill with which you responded to me will never be forgotten. “Thank you” will never be enough." -Catherine
"There are no words to say other than “Thank you” for your precision and dedication. I am thrilled so far with my results-and would tell the world if I could! Words cannot express my gratitude. Thank you for your time and kindness" -Gila
"Your sincere care for our son is greatly appreciated. With our best wishes for your health and your family. -Best regards Fay & Mike"
"I’d like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for doing my surgery and for doing such a great job! I honestly have to tell you that I was at the end of my rope. I was real glad that an opening came up and I had my surgery when I did. I truly did not believe I could last another day. I will forever be grateful for you, your expertise in this area and for your sensitivity to women who get sick with silicone. It does happen although most doctors do not recognize it. I’d also like to thank your staff for their help, their support, for listening to me and for accommodating me in your schedule sooner. I really needed that! Dr. Lee, Please continue doing the great job that you do! I have not enough words to thank you! -Sincerely, Patricia"
"Thank you all so very much for the wonderful experience I received while under your care. You’ve not only given me a new body image, but better self-esteem & pride in my body (not to mention physical relief!) I love visiting your office because you’re all very sweet and caring! Thank you Dr. Lee for the new & improved me, you did an outstanding job!" -Sarah
"Thanks so much for all your time, energy and professionalism throughout this scary, yet exciting time for me. The flowers that you sent were such a special added touch. -Thank you, Terri"

"Thank you very much for the beautiful flowers. I feel great and I wanted to share it with some friends. I am glad they went to see you. You are the best!!! -Best wishes for this Xmas and next year, Mary J"
"Just a note of thanks. I appreciated the time you took in explanation of the various tests at my appointment. As a nurse, I also appreciated the comfort the staff gave to me-it’s different being on the other end of it. You and your office staff are very professional. -Thanks again, Sincerely, Nancy"
"I wanted to thank-you for everything and taking such good care of me! I couldn’t have asked for a better doctor, especially everything we had to go through together. I will write again, and I’ll be in to see you next time I’m in S.D.
P.S. I love having my breast back finally!!! -Lots of love, Lisa J"
"This is not the ride I stood in line for! You and your staff have been wonderful! The way you explained everything to me and your warm smile took a lot of the fear out of “Breast Cancer”. I will be forever grateful. -Love & Hugs, Leanne"

"Thank you for such a wonderful job you did. I am so excited with the transformation of my stomach and thighs (my new figure). You and all of your staff were so patient and caring through the whole process. It was an absolute pleasure and I am so glad I made the perfect choice of doctor for the procedure. Your warmth and caring will always be remembered. -Sincerely, Teresa"

I wanted to personally thank you for the excellence of your work. You are truly a gifted professional! I do not know how you do it-I think you must be part magician. Best wishes for a Happy Holiday Season" -Steve
"You have all been so wonderful! I’d forgotten how it felt to “see” my toes wiggle in the sand. Ha! Ha! To be free of back and neck pain is a blessing indeed and to be guided through the breast reduction process from beginning to end by such a warm, and friendly, professional staff lets me know there are people out there who really care. Dr. Lee is a true artist and healer and will always hold my heart felt thank you." -Linda
"I wanted to wish you and all your staff a very Happy Holiday and a fantastic 2005! But most importantly…I wanted to thank you for the most amazing year of my life! Your incredible surgical work has allowed me to live in the body I knew I had and needed to “uncover” after all my weightloss and exercise. I am now a certified fitness instructor and am teaching 3 classes a week at my gym! My family would also agree that my surgery last January was the best thing to happen to me in many years! Thank you Dr. Lee-you are amazing. -Sincerely, Maria"
"You are an excellent Doctor. Thank you for being so kind and helpful. I will forever be thankful. -God Bless, Mary Lou"
"Thank you “Gracias” so much for what you did for me. You are great!! PS. Your staff and team are excellent!! -Sincerely, Lizzie"
"It has been some time since our last contact and I hope that this letter finds you and your family well. I hope that you will also forgive the lateness of this letter. I have been meaning to write you for some time to thank you for the wonderful gift of improved self-esteem that you have given me. I never fully appreciated how much my physical appearance was holding me back until I was liberated by your artistry and talent. I feel as if the last several years have been a slow, “extreme makeover”; from the outside in. Feeling more confident about my appearance has given me the courage to return to school and excel both scholastically and in my nursing career. Now that I have completed my BSN, I feel even more empowered and liberated and for the first time in my life, I feel as if the world is full of infinite possibility. I am embarking on a whole new phase of my life, and with this new path, I feel compelled by an enormous desire to reinvent myself. It is not that I want to be someone else, rather I want to be an improved version of myself; the best “me” that I can be." -Traci
"If there was a man who deserves a huge “thank you” it is you. After we spoke yesterday and I learned that if I wasn’t happy with the outcome of my procedure that it was ‘changeable’, you cannot begin to comprehend the release I felt of days of tension and anxiety. I was so amazed by my relief; it was only then that I realized how anxious I had been. Anxious that my son would be shocked and feel, when next we meet in November, that he had ‘lost’ his mother. But the most amazing thing of all is that this morning to my surprise, with the draining away of a week’s worth of anxiety, was the draining away of a bit more of the swelling. And for the first time, I could see what you saw through the swelling, the beginnings of a beautiful face.
He looks ageless
And has the steady hand
Of a young man,
But he possesses
Ages of honed skill
And the eye of a Master.
-Thank you, Dr. Lee, Diane"
"Thanks for turning back the clock. I’m getting way too many compliments for a woman of my age!! -Sincerely, Rita J."
"I don’t know if you remember me or not, I know you have a lot of patients, but you did breast implants for me, a face peel on my Mum, and lots of work on my Aunt. Anyway, it has been almost two years since my surgery, and I still couldn’t be happier. I watch that show Dr. 90210 and I see all the horror stories, and I am just so thankful for you and what a wonderful doctor you were to work with. So thank you again for making a difference in my life. You are the best and I have referred all my friends to you. -Sincerely, Samantha"
