Letter from a happy patient

I originally became a doctor because I enjoy helping people feel healthy and happy. Recently, I was able to send one of my patients, Rene’ Tate to a spa getaway with her husband. (The package was the final patient appreciation prize from our Fall Spectacular.)

Rene’ and her husband enjoyed the weekend so much, she wrote us this wonderful letter and sent us a picture. I just had to share it with you here.

Dear Dr. Goodyear,

Wow – what a blessing! I can’t thank you enough for the opportunity to enjoy a wonderful and relaxing weekend at the Alluvian Hotel and spa in Greenwood Mississippi. We, my husband and I, began our visit with each of us receiving a 90-minute custom massage together in the couples’ room. The massage was excellent and would have been worth the trip. We also enjoyed the Italian restaurant, Guardini’s, adjacent to the hotel both evenings where they offered first class dining and atmosphere.

As one who likes to cook, I had the pleasure of observing the Viking cooking class one evening (the classes were already booked full when we booked our stay) and I had a ball shopping in the Viking kitchen store!

We had ample time for relaxation and exploring the area. Having a get-away weekend was rejuvenating for both of us.

Your extremely generous and unexpected gift is deeply appreciated. Most of all, however, I would like to express my appreciation for you and your staff for being a first class medical team. While I’ve enjoyed a marked increase in my feeling of wellness, I know the many friends I’ve referred to you are equally as impressed with you and your office. It’s so refreshing to find a Doctor who will really listen to his patients and give personal, caring medical attention.

Phillipians 1:3 says, “I thank my God upon every remembrance of you” & Ruth 2:12 says, “May the Lord repay you for what you have done. May you be richly rewarded by the Lord…” (NIV). These scriptures best expresses my thoughts and feelings about you and your staff.

I’m attaching a picture of us at Giardini’s; feel free to share it or this letter in part or in entirety with anyone you would like.

Sincerely,

Rene’ Tate
