• Dr. Voss, August 2010

  To Whom It May Concern:
  
  I came to Northwest Face a couple of years ago to see if something could be done about the condition of three fingertips. I used to work with solvents, and my fingers eventually looked and felt as if they had a burn that wouldn't heal. Thanks to the treatment recommended by Dr. Voss, they have recovered fully. The dermatologist I saw before visiting Dr. Voss said I would just have to live with the condition. I am very grateful for the treatment, support and optimism I received at Northwest Face. Thank you.

• Dr. Ummat

  To Whom It May Concern:
  
  I am writing to share the positive experiences I have had with my doctor and the professional staff at Northwest Face in Seattle.
  
  For at least ten years I was not able to breathe very well. This chronic problem grew worse to the point I was unable to sleep during the night for more than an hour or two without waking, as I found myself gasping for breath.
  
  I fortunately found Dr Sunil Ummat at Northwest Face who listened as I explained my symptoms. He ordered a CT scan so he could assess my problems more clearly. At my next visit, Dr Ummat pointed out on the CT scan the horrendous blockages in my sinuses that showed why I was unable to breathe. The scan also indicated that infection was probably present.
  
  Dr Ummat performed the surgery on my sinuses and has been treating the infection. I am happy to say I can once again breathe well! The surgical staff was very competent and made me feel comfortable prior to and after the surgery.
  
  I have also found the technical and front office staff to be consistently efficient and courteous.
  
  I highly recommend Northwest Face and especially Dr Ummat!

• Dr. Batson, March '10 - Re the WOW
  

  Hi, Michelle,
  
  My ear canals are somewhat sore right now (I just now got a chance to take some aspirin), but I wanted to tell you that the sound quality of these hearing aids is amazing. The sound through my regular hearing aids is somewhat flat, one-dimensional, or slightly "canned" by comparison. The sound in these is much fuller, with layers or shading, and my voice is very recognizably my real voice. If you think about how hair dyes were when they first came out--sort of flat and all one tone as compared to how they are now, with multiple tones within the color, that's sort of the difference between my old hearing aids and these new ones. It's funny that I couldn't remember what my voice was supposed to sound like when you used to ask me if it sounded right, but I recognized it immediately as "right" with these hearing aids.

  Dr. Ummat:
  
  If I were in Seattle I would call or stop by to say this, but it’s a little harder to do from Saigon. I want to thank you for the excellent service and surgery. I can hardly feel or see the scar at this point. The latter is probably due to the fact that there are so many folds in my neck already. But really, the surgery was amazingly untraumatic – no pain swallowing or sleeping on that side etc.
  
  Thanks again for the expeditious handling of the whole thing.
  
  Best regards,

• Gary Beerman, February '10

  My name is ... I’m not sure you remember me, but I saw you for the first time approximately three weeks ago. While not a new customer, it was my first opportunity to meet you. You might remember me because I’d had ibuprofen the night before and was quite a bleeder. Yikes, not the best thing to be remembered for. :)
  
  When I came in for my third ever Dysport treatment in January, I discussed with you the challenge I’ve had with my outer brow. It appeared to be impervious to Botox and Dysport. You were very generous with your time and discussed Dysport at length, and considered every aspect of my facial features and muscles prior to treating me. You also expressed concern about the potential for a ‘Dr. Spok’ effect if not done correctly. You asked me to follow up with you, post-treatment, and encouraged me not to tolerate any aspect of the treatment that didn’t suit me (though it was unlikely I’d experience any). You also asked me to follow up with you once it had taken effect.
  
  I’m thrilled to say that your work was absolutely perfect. Within two days, the majority of the injections had taken effect and provided me with a very natural look that allows me my full range of facial expressions. I earn my living as a public speaker, and this was very important to me. It took an addition 5 days for the remaining injections to take effect and they, too, helped to create an entirely natural look.
  
  I really want to thank you for taking the time to discuss the various approaches we could take to address my concerns. The result is a lovely, fresh look that truly reflects who I am.
  
  Thank you so much,
  A.D.

  Dynasport is a miracle worker. I am so happy with the results and having you work on me was a great experience!
  THANKS!

• Dr. Allegra, December '09

  My sincere Thanks to Dr. Allegra. I was havinng swelling in my left cheek. Between his busy Friday surgeries. He had me come in and I was able to go to work for the holidays. His kindness, and resolving my issue especially on a weekend was so very gracious. My Heartfelt Thanks. My working trip as a flight attendant to Maui went well due to Dr. Allegra. My Thanks. Please let him know,
  Sincerely

• Dr. Julie Voss, October '09

  Dear Dr. Voss,

  Thank you for helping Lindsay! That was very kind of you!. 

• Dr. Ludwig Allegra, July '09

  Dear Dr. Allegra,

  I want to thank you once again for opening the door to the prison cell I've been languishing in for 25 years. I have my life back because of your competent skills, as well as your extraordinary generosity.

  Thank you sincerely,

• Shane Keck, PA-C , May '09

  Just FYI: I just had the greatest conversation with a new patient regarding your talks to school age children! She made appointments for her 18-year-old daughter that is obsessed with tanning booths and herself for the VISIA. She said you were amazing, very dynamic and gave lots of valuable information. She is a parent on the PTSA that allows funds for informational speakers and thought you were one of the best this year! :)

• Northwest Face team, March '09

  Dr. Julie, Arlene and Ludwig,
  
  I would like to take this moment to personally thank you for support our Flavors of Seattle culinary gala and American Liver Foundation's mission. Thanks to your generosity we are able to move forward in our cause to educate, advocate and support doctors, patients and our community in the battle to fight liver disease. I hope you enjoyed the evening and the wonderful food and wine! Thank you.
  
  On a separate note, I would like to tell you what a great experience I have had with my service at NW Face. Beginning with Stephanie. She is so warm, concerned and personable and just does everything possible to make me feel comfortable during my treatments. It has been a great match- she answers all my questions and has really educated me on my skin and how to best care for it. Not to mention her outgoing personality put me right at ease-I have recommended NW Face and Stephanie to all my friends. Thank you and Stephanie for everything.
  
  I will be updating our website soon with results and pictures from the gala but in the interim, please enjoy the attached photo.
  
  Many thanks,
  
  Molly Scott Community Events Manager

• Gary Beerman January '09

  Hi Gary!
  Sorry it has been so long since we have communicated. I have been wanting to let you know that K. is doing very well. The treatments you gave her worked beautifully and she confidently wears whatever she wants now. She is finishing her senior year in high school and trying to choose a college. She continues to work at the animal hospital while also being very involved in the school drama program.
  
  Thank you for everything you did for her and for me also. You helped me help my daughter and I will always thank you for that.
  
  I hope everything is going well for you and your family.
  Thank you again.
