FEATURED PATIENT

Dr. Wayment,

You are such an awesome physician and just a down right great guy! I can't thank you enough, they're perfect! (Not too big or small). I'm so pleased with your work and believe me, I'd recommend you in an instant!

Thank You So Much!!!

Dr. Wayment & Staff:

I just wanted to drop you a line and express how happy I am with my recent tummy tuck and breast augmentation. I don't know who is happier, my husband or myself! After three kids, three sets of stretch marks and loose skin, I never thought I could ever have my body back the way it was before kids! (It looks better now than it ever did before!)

The best part is that my breasts and stomach look so natural; no one would ever know that I had surgery! I really wasn't interested in looking unnatural or "fake," I just wanted to be beautiful again. To be able to be back in a two piece bathing suit is something I never thought would happen! When people ask me what my secret is to looking so great I say, "easy.Dr. Wayment in Twin Falls!" I have referred you to everyone I know! Thank you so much for giving me back my life!

Forever Grateful,
N.

Dear Dr. Wayment,

I just wanted to take the time to thank you for all your expertise in regards to the healing process from our motor vehicle accident on July 1st. Definitely NOT a summer that I want to repeat ever again.

But I feel blessed that God chose you to be my skin graft doctor. I know that that was His goodness to me. It is amazing to think of how nasty my wounds were and how with the help of wound vacs, eating a ton of protein and an excellent doctor like yourself, I was able to heal from the accident.

I really appreciated your very friendly, warm and caring bedside manner. You are such a down to earth person and that really helps the patient feel comfortable when asking questions. And I appreciate your honesty, too. That you don't make promises that something will "look great," you talk honestly about the wound and the healing process in ways that help the patient and his/her family understand what is really going on and what he/she can expect.

At this time of year, I am thankful for many things and especially grateful for your genuine care and incredible skills as a plastic surgeon. I am hoping and praying that one day I will not be too afraid to wear a skirt or shorts!

Again, I appreciated your office staff and your wife (the one time that I got to have her as a nurse)-everyone was always very friendly and knowledgeable. Jen was fantastic-she was the nurse I dealt with more on a regular basis. During this season of Christmas, I wish you and your family the very best of a holiday. I am sure it will be a big time for Sydney, and then her little sister on the way in January. Thanks again for taking such excellent care of me!

Fondly with much Gratitude,

P.G.

Dear Dr. Wayment,

I meant to write many weeks ago after I THOUGHT I saw you at the Wal-Mart in Jerome. A girlfriend was being taken care of at the Customer Service counter and I entertained her little boy in the shopping cart when I glanced behind me to see what looked like a familiar face. I kept glancing back but this person never looked directly at me. It was the weirdest thing because he looked like you yet I wasn't sure mainly because if it was you, you definitely were not dressed for work! This person was wearing camouflage pants, a long sleeve t-shirt, cap, no eye glasses, and appeared to have missed shaving that morning. You couldn't have been better disguised if you'd tried-IF it was you. I could have kicked myself for not having taken the initiative to just speak up. I'm old enough that I can't embarrass myself for approaching a total stranger. Instead, I called your office to see if you were working that day! Perhaps Lisa has already told you about my call. I felt like your mother checking up on you!

Lisa commented that even if it had been you, your privacy guidelines dictate that you wouldn't approach me outside your office. Well, I have no problems or privacy issues with anybody being aware that I know you-not even on a professional level. It is what it is. And if it was you at Wal-Mart, I'm truly sorry for not giving you a hug in public! Okay, maybe not a hug (although you seem like a touchy-feely guy!) but at least a friendly smile and hello.

I do intend to return for the procedure of having my nipple reconstructed and truly appreciate your willingness to do this in your office. I'm going to wait, probably until fall, for this for several reasons. A major reason being summertime is extremely busy and I just don't want to bother with it now. Another being it gives me more time to save up money. And just as important is that I'm wanting to give myself more time to heal and let the implant settle. I've noticed that since I've been more physically active that the more I use my muscles (since I'm right handed and the surgeries were on my right side), the implant tends to get pushed up. Keith has asked to massage it down in place, but you know, there's just nothing romantic about the gesture! I would guess that means there's not enough scar tissue to hold it down yet. Also, my right arm (from the shoulder on down to my hand) will ache when I've been doing a lot. Given all this, there's no hurry.

Just wanted to write (sorry about the mini-novel) so that you'll know if I see you out in public, to expect a greeting. If I don't see you before, I expect it'll be in your office later this fall.

Sincerely,

W.J.
