A 48 year-old patient after breast augmentation/mastopexy, abdominoplasty, and lower body lift:

Dear Dr. Mackenzie,

                        ...I feel very grateful for my new life.  I feel so much different about my body in that until now, I had never been comfortable in a dress before.  Shopping for clothes was painful and I didn't want to do it.  Every day I get up and it's a new way of being for me because the negativity about my body is gone.  I feel so different about myself and have started to really take care of myself on a physical level.  I like the freedom of not being restricted because I have to hide this or that.  These changes are just an amazing experience to live through.  I love it.  I had no idea plastic surgery could do this for people.  It must be very good for you to be able to give this gift to people and I appreciate so much your creativity and skill to make this happen for me...

Sincerely,

S.M.

A 20 year-old patient after breast reduction:

Dr. Mackenzie -

                        I think that I am just now fully realizing what has happened to me.  I was in shock for a couple weeks.  It's hard for me to express my happiness (and I'm an English major) of the surgery results.  Wow - it's so incredible.  I feel like a different person...

            I'm so grateful for all you have done for me.  I know that you were just doing your job, but it is obvious that you are passionate about it.  I'm so glad that it worked out that you ended up doing the surgery - I couldn't be happier.

Again thank you,

R.O.

A 50 year-old patient after breast reconstruction for cancer:

Dr. Mackenzie,

                        It is so-o-o good to be into my 2^nd cancer-free year.  I'm still doing well!  ____ did the tattoo on my left nipple.  Interestingly, I was her first experience with a TRAM flap reconstruction and she remarked what beautiful work you had done!  Of course, I agree!

            ...I'm so happy to be cancer-free and I'm so grateful to you for all you did to reconstruct my breast so beautifully.

Aloha,

A 43 year-old patient after breast reconstruction following mastectomy:

Dear Dr. Mackenzie and staff,

I needed to write you this letter of thanks from the bottom of my heart. You and your staff have been so kind and made me feel comfortable during my treatment of cancer. I'm so thankful to you and your staff. There are not too many people like you Dr. Mackenzie, to take the time to do something for someone like me out of the kindness of your heart. I thank God for you. Dealing with my cancer this past year has truly been an ordeal I'll never forget. It is people like you and your staff that has made things more easily endured.

Truly Dr. Mackenzie...words cannot describe my deepest thanks and appreciation for everything you've done and are still doing. I pray that God will always bless you in every aspect of your life.

Forever grateful,

CG


25 year old woman after breast augmentation:  

The information in the pre-operative package was well organized, structured and very useful. Overall, I really enjoyed speaking to the staff and asking questions. Everyone was extremely helpful and encouraging. I'm so glad I chose Dr. Mackenzie for my surgeon. It was the best experience ever and he did an excellent job!

Accreditation is the key ingredient to an excellent surgeon and I checked Dr. Mackenzie out on line and called the American Board of Plastic Surgeons. He is very professional, knowledgable and caring. The staff are all very caring and are very concerned about what to expect. The pre-op packet helped a great deal. I used it to the letter and it made my recovery easy. The surgery that I had was the best. I didn't expect the recovery to be as easy as I had. I prepared myself for the worst but everything is outstanding. Dr. Mackenzie is absolutely a great plastic surgeon.

45 year old woman after breast reduction and tummy tuck later on:

The 1^st time was in 2004 for a breast reduction procedure. The 2^nd time was for a tummy tuck. Because my 1^st experience was great with Dr. Mackenzie being informative, caring and confident and the office staff was always friendly, I never considered going anywhere else. The pre-op package and post-op instructions were very informative. The follow up phone call on the day of surgery is very comforting and shows that Dr. Mackenzie cares about his patients. I will most definitely return to the office to have more plastic surgery.

50 year old blepharoplasty patient: 

Dr. Mackenzie's bedside manner: courteous, kind, professional, knowledgable, smart, excellent credentials and experience. Dr. Mackenzie was our first consult. We liked him so much that there was no reason to waste our time with anyone else. My experience, by far, exceeded all expectations. Santa Maria Ambulatory Surgery Center was also excellent, nurses, OR staff, Anesthesiologist were awesome!
