Yes, this was just after my parents had given him a very heartfelt thank you, as well as passed on greetings and thanks from other relatives. He was genuinely very pleased and happy to receive all of this. From every interaction with him, it appears he loves his job and is very good with patients relations. He also took the time to draw on my heart pillow's heart illustration what he had done to my heart, and signed it. I am so happy he was my default choice of surgeon.
