Dr. Buckingham,

Thank you for your “perfect artwork” when you recently worked to repair an incision I had to remove a melanoma on my scalp. You and Dr. Fleming are truly an awesome team. I enjoyed a follow-up with your staff to remove my stitches, and believe it-I do not have a scar!!! I sincerely appreciate the dedication it took for you to help people/patients feel their best. I thank you and your entire professional staff. It made my recovery extremely successful.

Your Patient,

D.A.

Just wanted to send a little note to say it's been almost a year since Dr. Buckingham took a big pre-cancerous mole off my neck and now you can barely see the scar, just like he promised. Great job, Dr. Buckingham!

Thank you!

Dear Dr. Buckingham-

Please let me extend my sincere appreciation and thanks to you for performing such a wonderful and successful lower facelift, fat transfer, and lower blepharoplasty.  I am very pleased with the outcome and have received many compliments regarding the youthful and natural appearance of my face.  It was extremely important to me that my face would look rejuvenated but not “pulled and tucked”.

In September of 2010, I was seriously contemplating facial surgery and consequently went searching for a competent qualified Plastic Surgeon.  After completing much research, my quest for the right surgeon took me from Florida all the way to Southern California, and to Texas.  After interviewing a total of ten (10) Plastic Surgeons, you became my number one choice because I felt most comfortable with your explanation of the procedures and your knowledge of the facial structure.  Additionally, I was impressed by your background and experience and knew that I would be in the right hands.

I also would like to thank your staff, Alli, Rene, Christy and most of all Barb who was very kind and patient and was always ready to listen to my concerns.  It deserves to be mentioned that the staff of the Central Park Surgery Center was excellent and the facility itself was outstanding.

Again, my sincere thanks and I would not hesitate for one moment to provide you with my strongest recommendation for any person thinking about facial surgery.  I look forward to seeing you at my follow-up appointment in March 2012.

Dear Dr. Buckingham-

There are no words to adequately express my gratitude for what you have done for me.  After 23 years, of pondering and planning, I had high expectations for both the experience and the outcome.  I was referred to you by another cosmetic surgeon due to my nasal breathing issues, and that turned out to be a huge blessing as I don’t believe he would have exceeded them all as you have done.  The rhinoplasty was a dream come true for me, you are an artist I think!  Your credentials are outstanding and certainly important, but your true and evident caring outshines all of that.  You made me feel important, not like “just another patient”.  Thank you for the rosebuds on the day following my surgery and also for returning my 5 a.m. distress call so quickly and kindly.  Your staff is amazing, always so respectful and wonderful to speak with.  I appreciate all of you-and Dr. Buckingham, I will always treasure this experience! You’re the best!

"I am three months past my Lower Facelift, Fat Transfer, Chemical Peel and CO2 laser resurfacing. Now I know that sounds like a lot but after about 2 weeks I could go out in public. Since I am new to the area most people just state how young I look for my age, 64. My family wasn't sure at first about having the procedures but now all admit it was well worth it. Having said that, the experience went well largely due to Dr. Buckingham and his staff. OK, they even sent me flowers! But, if I had any questions or concerns they were just a call away.

I should say that after being a RN for 35 years I knew the right questions to ask at pre-op but even if I hadn't, they had all my questions answer-before I had to ask."

"I am 3.5 months out from having a Full Facelift, eyebrow lift, upper lids done lower eyes done, fat transfer, nose tip refined, facial peel. The most remarkable transformation ...my friends and family say that I look 20 years younger...I HIGHLY RECOMMEND DR BUCKINGHAM and his FABULOUS STAFF ARE THE BEST! Very caring and conscientious and prompt with answers, calls and questions..they treated me like royalty...always made to feel special.

Dr Buckingham's manner and care is superb...YOU WONT FIND A MORE CARING OR CONSCIENTIOUS DR. RESULTS ARE 10 TIMES BETTER THAN EXPECTED!"

"Now that we're done and I've had time to reflect on this experience with you and your staff; it's time to tell you how I feel - it was one of the best decisions I've ever made.

The first day I met with you and your staff, I knew you were the person that I trusted to make this old face look less tired and droopy. I felt as though I was beginning to resemble Prince Charles and always looked mean and angry. Well - no more. The droopy eyes and jowls are gone, the harsh lines are soft and I have an awesome chin and neck. My mirror has become really tired of me admiring myself.

Your staff, April, Barb, Christi and Rene have all been professional, caring and concerned for my well being at every visit or phone call. They are a joy to interact with; it's always fun to come to your office. The flowers you guys sent after the surgery were certainly appreciated and a bright spot in those dreary home bound days.

Dr. Buckingham, you do wonderful work; your skill and expertise is certainly apparent with what you have accomplished with this old gal's face. I'm so "improved" yet I look realistic and not "done". You've always been so caring and patient at all of my visits, I've never felt silly or narcissistic. Thank you for making me look on the outside like I feel on the inside - joyful that I'm still hanging around this world. And also thank you for your generosity with some of the procedures you performed."

"I just wanted to write a little note of appreciation and complete satisfaction on my face surgery. From the first day I walked into your office I was made to feel so at ease and not feel vain or intimidated because of what I was there for. Then I met you and you made me feel so special and not like an older lady of 74 expecting you to make me look young again. My first concern was that I didn’t want you to make me look like I had a face lift, all tight, and a Joan Rivers look!!!  That doctor you certainly didn’t do, its exactly what I had hoped for and of course more, because I am more than happy with the way I look."

"How do you thank people who have made your exciting and a little scary decision to have facial surgery not as scary. Your friendly, professional attitude made such a big difference in the way I not only viewed myself, but my recovery process. Not one look of impatience in your manner. Not once did I feel rushed, pushed or silly.

Liz, you really made a difference when I would call. You were full of confidence and reassured me that I would be pleased. The thank you note was so unexpected and the flowers were deeply appreciated. Liz you are an awesome lady.

Dr. Buckingham how do I thank someone for learning a job that takes integrity, kindness, lots of study and the ability to listen and understand what a person wants. I really appreciated the fact that you did not mind saying what would not look right. In my opinion you are terrific and I am so lucky that you were my surgeon. I said many prayers and only felt more calm with each one. I am a very spiritual person and never take for granted people who make a difference in my life. I wished I had the ability to write the words that fill my heart, but I don’t. So I can only tell you that your smiles, your kindness will be in my heart forever."

"Thank you! Our words cannot express how we truly feel about what you have done for M. Although she is too young to understand all that has transpired with her hemangioma, she will be told of your goodness when she is older.

Your reassuring words helped get us through many troubling days. The weekend phone call to our home to check on her was beyond thoughtful. Calling her by name while squatting down, on her level, to speak to her, was more than just professional. It was all of these little things and more that make you special in our eyes.

There are not enough words to express what our hearts feel. You are a part of a staff that performed the Christmas miracle we were looking for."

"I cannot tell you how appreciative I am for you making the time to see me on such short notice.

Kindest regards."

"K and I would like you to know how much we appreciate your expertise and care in repairing K’s nose. The incision is healing nicely and we are grateful that the cancer concern is over. Thank you again."

"Thank you for all of your kindness, professionalism, and especially the roses I received after surgery. I was feeling pretty bad and that beautiful gesture cheered me up at just the right time. Your entire staff is a class act."

"I am writing to thank you again for the work you have done for me. After all these treatments I can see the port wine stain has significantly lightened in color. Not only is the area smoother and less raised, it also has slightly reduced in size, with less pronounced boundaries. Especially when comparing to on-line notes and experiences from other patients of similar treatments, the 3 treatments I received have produced the most amazing results. I am also aware of the extra work and zaps you have done during each treatment beyond the port wine stain areas. It is admirable of you to not have boasted about them or seek credit. As a former teacher for 17 years, I may be good at judging and observing, but poor at expressing my appreciation. You have earned my greatest respect with your expertise, sincerity, patience, sense of humor, and most importantly, your high standard of practice. Doctor visits of any kind have always been uneasy for me, but you have made my visits with you most bearable. I am looking forward to my next visit when I am back on leave."

"Thank you for my beautiful flowers. They made me smile but what really brought a smile to my face is when I was handed the mirror and I saw your work.  You are a great surgeon and I was so happy with the results.  Your staff was wonderful also. They were always warm, honest, and patient. I had interviewed 5 different plastic surgeons and I’m so thankful I finally found you and your office."
