Providence Plastic Surgery Testimonials

Testimonial #1

This is to thank you for the absolutely wonderful care and treatment I have received from each and every member of your staff. I can say that, without exception, I have never had a bad experience in all the times I have been there – unless of my own making, of course (leaving my glasses there, etc.)! From the minute I walk in to the minute I walk out I am always treated with kindness, professionalism, respect, understanding, patience, care, and genuine friendliness. I have never been to any another doctor’s office where I can say that to a person, every single member of the staff is pure quality. You are all a credit to your profession, and certainly make the world a much nicer place.

If this chocolate makes you too fat, I know a really good cosmetic surgeon who can help you out…

God bless,
Pat

(Please also share this with Mike. Although he isn’t necessarily a member of you staff, he should be!)”

Dr. Zeinowicz,

I know I will probably see you several times in the future, but I wanted to say thank you once again for seeing me safely and successfully through my surgery. From your consult, to your literature, and your wonderful staff, everything went just as I hoped. You certainly perfected this procedure and I am so happy I chose you to do this. – And I know you’ve seen millions of breasts, but you can’t even believe how amazing it feels to be given this feeling of confidence and femininity, that is so very important to a woman. It must feel great to have a job that changes people’s lives in such a positive way.

Thank you again.


Testimonial #3

Dear Dr. Amaral,

I am the woman whose story “I Got the News All Women Dread” appeared as the Cover Story in Providence Journal’s “Lifestyles” magazine, on Dec. 26, 2004. I wanted to demystify the experience of being diagnosed and undergoing reconstruction surgery; at the same time, I wish to herald my RI doctors, Theresa Graves and Rick Zienowicz, as well as Linda Livingston in radiology (she has since married and has a new name).

Now, I have submitted a follow-up piece to Seth Klaiman for possible publication in the hospitals newspaper and have sent in a contribution to the mammography department of RI Hospital last December. You see, I know how fortunate I am and would like to work so that others might have a similar positive outcome. To that effect, I offer my services as a spokesperson and fund-raiser. I have experience in public-speaking and know I could be a valuable resource: after all, I am a RI woman who has recovered well from 4 surgeries over 2 years, a woman who today has a positive outlook do to the skill of RI surgeons. In addition, I am a writer and a speaker.

You may access more information about me via my 2 websites: www.yteach.org focuses on my educational material published and colleenmellor.com highlights my real estate business. I donate funds from my real estate business to charitable ventures.

I am sending you the recent story I sent to Seth, along with my offer to do public speaking services for RI Hospital in fund-raising mode. Barbara Scheppes and I have discussed where she might utilize new money coming in, and I am committed to trying to get her that money. As you will read in my story, I recommend other optimal situations I’d like to suggest as a patient advocate, but you may have some of this in place already; I wasn’t sure….it has been a while since I walked that path.

So, please feel free to contact me…As I said in my piece, so many people offered the foregone conclusion “that I was going to Boston for Treatment, of course,” and I can only say I am thrilled with my decision to remain with RI professional medical treatment.

Most sincerely,

Colleen Mellor

Dear Dr. Z,

I wanted to thank you once again for the amazing work you’ve done on me. I feel and look much better than I ever have. There is not one day that goes by that my husband doesn’t compliment me. Even I look at my new body everyday and am very thankful to you. I just can’t believe what my eyes see. You will be sure to meet a handful of women I’ve recommended to you. At least after they’re done having their babies. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I LOVE IT!

Happy holidays to you and your family!


Testimonial #5

Dr. Z,

I just wanted to say “thank you” for the amazing job you did on my Tummy Tuck. Although I am only a month into my recovery, I am thrilled with the outcome and the transformation is unbelievable. I know my results will only improve as time goes on – but it is hard to imagine they are going to be even better than they are now! You are a true artist with a special talent.

I also want you to know your entire staff are true professionals. They have made me feel very comfortable and never hesitated to answer any questions or concerns I have. You are not only a doctor and his staff but feel you have become my friend, too!

Thank you again – you all are awesome.

Dear Dr. Zienowicz,

I want to deeply thank you for the amazing work you have done for me during my breast reconstruction. Your warmth and compassion make you a very special doctor, which coupled with your surgical expertise, make you one of the “BEST” doctors in Rhode Island.

I am also forever grateful for the additional corrective measures you have made to make me more comfortable and HAPPIER.

Despite my diagnosis of breast cancer, I consider myself fortunate to have crossed the paths of so many wonderful medical people, like yourself.

May life bless you abundantly for all you do for others.

Fondly,

Cathy Marshall


Testimonial #8

Dear Dr. Zienowicz,

I apologize that it has taken me 6 months to get this thank you letter to you.

Thank you for the amazing job on my surgery. The whole experience from consultation to recovery, exceeded my expectations. (Surgery on Wednesday, in Boston on Saturday.) Six months later, no visible scars and it feels like my body was always this way!

From my 1st visit to my discharge visit, you and your staff have assured that all my questions and concerns were addressed. At each visit I met a different member of your staff and each person made me feel so comfortable. I felt like I was talking with my girlfriends. I can honestly say I have never had an experience where everyone was so positive and kind.

As an administrator, I know what a challenging task it is to create and maintain both a positive and professional culture; it is clear, Dr. Zienowicz, you have achieved this!

Best Wishes for a fabulous New Year!

Sincere Wishes


Testimonial #9

Dear Dr. Zienowicz,

Thank you so much for the wonderful work you completed on my face and neck. I am so appreciative! Every time I glance in a mirror, I can’t believe how fantastic I look. I do look 15 years younger and I do feel a lot better about my appearance. My co-workers are not asking me what I did on my vacation, but they certainly are staring at me. You are an artist.

Thank you,  Jane C.

Testimonial #10

Dear Dr. Zienowicz,

Thank you so much for your amazing work during my surgery last Thursday.  I can tell I am going to love the results!  You have a calm and easy rapport with your patients that is very impressive, given that it would be easy to be intimidated by so much talent.  I can’t wait to heal fully and enjoy the results!

Thanks for everything,  Jennifer G.
