It is a pleasure to be a patient at your office
Dear Dr. Sommerville,
I have severe rosacea and the redness and swelling on my face were a constant source of embarrassment. I have seen many dermatologists prior to coming to your office, took various pills that made me sick, but nothing worked in reducing the redness. You suggested IPL treatments and after 4 monthly sessions, my face is so much better that I no longer have to wear makeup. These treatments were totally worth the expense. More dermatologists should embrace such procedures. I really appreciate how thoughtful you were and how much care you took to ensure the safety of the treatments. Your staff is exceptionally well-trained and polite. It is a pleasure to be a patient at your office.
