I am impressed with your knowledge, professionalism, honesty, and mannerism.  The short time we spent together is evident that all your pateints will receive superior care. May God Bless you and all you continue to undertake. 
All the best.

Dr. Hyman,
I wanted to write you and say thanks for your help, care and concern for my mother.  She was doing so good regaining her strength and her shoulder was doing great.  Thanks!
I spoke with your staff and let them know that mom passed.  She had a bypass heart surgery recently, and had some complications. We lost her in September.  I know she is in a better place but do miss her.
 
You were very gentle with her and she was so comfortable with you and had the utmost confidence in you.
I wish you well and again I am thankful for your kindness.
Respectfully,
DM
Dr. Hyman,
Thank you so much for caring so much for me as a patient that you took time away from your family time for me. 
I have never felt such concern from any other physicans office I have ever known.

Doc -
Congrats on the expansion! My knee has healed up great! I can do everything as before - except bend it back as far as the other leg... I figure that'll just take more time.
 
In the (hopefully unlikely) event that I would need anymore knee work in the future it'd be great to know where you're at!
 
Take care and Merry Christmas! 
I.K.

Dr. Hyman - you performed ACL/Meniscus repair surgery on my left knee on 12/29/06, and I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you.  I was in this past Monday for my final exam/consultation, and wanted to let you know that my knee feels very good right now, and I anticipate that it will feel great in no time at all.   
 
Thanks again to you, Elizabeth, and Valerie for everything.
 
Sincerely,
 
BB
Dear Dr Hyman,
Thank you and your staff for performing such fine surgery on my hand.
Believe me when I say, your staff and you, both at the office and at the operating facility, are very professional.
 
My hand is healing nicely and I've never had any pain whatsoever.  I have only taken 2 tablets to start and that was it.  I'm back at work with absolutely no pain.
 
WHat agreat surgery you have performed, and what a great surgeon you are.  Thank you very much and on behalf of your wonderful staff,
Julien

Hi Dr. Hyman!

  How are you?  I hope you are doing well!  I just wanted to e-mail you and give you an update on my current status.  My knee is doing great and holding up well!  I've pretty much gained all my strength back and my speed.

  I made it through my college season and had a great year hitting .413- which is mostly a credit to my speed- not my actual hitting ability.  Additionally, I am now playing professional softball for the Michigan Ice and starting at third base.  My knee feels great and I'm playing moderately well (aside from the nerves of playing pro).  Thank you so much for everything!  I really appreciate all your work! 

 

Hope all is well!

Thanks again!

 M.E.

 
6/30/2007    Dr. Hyman.  Thank you for your help.

Thank you for the Doctors

Master Physician….

 

A doctor once made the profound statement:  “I treat the patient  -- GOD heals the patient.”

 

Thank you for the doctors who ask for your guidance as they conscientiously treat us.

 

Please lift up these doctors when they are tired – when they have given so much that it seems they can give no more.  Their responsibilities must be overwhelming at times.

 

As our doctors take care of us, please take care of them.

Dr. Hyman,
Just thought I would share another accomplishment post ACL reconstruction....  2007 Seaside Half Marathon on March 4th, 2007.  Ran with my girlfriend without any problems what so ever.   Thanks again and hope all is well!  JC (photo on Left)

Hello Dr. Hyman!

   How are you?  I hope you are doing well!  My knee is doing well and I'm very comfortable playing now.  We're currently 6-3 and now on our spring break tourney in Orlando.  Although my knee is doing great- I am having problems with the knee brace.  Because of the nature of softball and sliding/diving- the brace moves in between slides and I'm not always in a position to adjust it- which is causing problems when I try to move again...aka- sliding into second and then an overthrow occurs and having to get up immediately to make it to third.  When I start with it tighter on my leg it causes pain in my hamstrings and calf and limits my range of

motion.  Also- I'm experiencing some bruising from it.  Our trainers are going to try to have the Donjoy rep come and take a look at it- but I'm not sure how long it will take.  My question is- is it absolutely necessary for me to play with it?  If not, do I have to play with it the entire season?  Am I at a huge risk if I play without it?  Please let me know.

 

Thanks!

Have a great day! M.E.

----I'm glad your ACL reconstruction is doing well. At this point the brace may be doing more harm than good.  Your muscles were so strong and fully recovered, that I think you'll be fine without it.

3/7/07  Dear Dr. Hyman,

Last Friday morning you did the surgery on both knees for torn meniscus.  I am having little to no pain and have good mobility and flexibility and little to no swelling.  I have been able to walk unassisted by crutches since Sunday. I am elevating my legs when I sit and continuing to ice them twice a day.  GR

Dr. Hyman,
Just to give you an update. I received a silver medal in forms at last weekends Regional AAU tournament. I have qualified for Nationals to be held in July at Ft. Lauderdale. Thanks for taking good care of me and getting me back into action so quickly. HP

Dr. Hyman,

Thank you so much for answering my questions. You are doing a great service to your patients by answering emails. I have never heard of a Doctor who did this!

I am very happy to have you as my Orthopedic Specialist.

Take Care!

Thank you very, very much for performing Cameron's knee surgery.
Your staff was "super" from beginning to end.  They made our entire medical experience a pleasure.
I hope you, your staff and family have a very safe and happy holiday season!  Take care,
