Dr. Jafarnia
   Thank you for taking such great care of my arm! Believe it or not , I have had next to no pain since the surgery.
   I can understand why Gail (wife of patient and KSF employee) says you are an extremely talented surgeon. You have made this entire procedure seem so simple.
   It blows my mind the recovery for this is so minimal. I have to believe that would be a direct result of your skill.
   Again, thank you for taking the numbness away.
Sincerely,
Dan Hannahs

Dear Michael Berkowitz (KSF Administrator):
   Let me begin with thank you. Your staff at KSF Orthopaedic Center is phenomenal. Dr. Michael George greeted me with genuine interest in my right knee injury and he really listened to me. His caring attitude continued throughout my surgery and follow-up appointments. It is satisfying to have a doctor who cares. His arthroscopic procedure went perfectly. I have healed and am without pain.
   Alicia Walker was my therapist. She greeted me with a friendly smile each time asking me how I felt. She made me work and encouraged me to continue my exercises at home, which I did diligently. I have beenin therapy before and have never had such a good experience and great results. Her care was the best one could have.
   I am one pleased patient who wants to compliment these excellent professionals and who really appreciates the wonderful care I received. A simple thank you would not be enough.

Sincerely,
Karen D. McClesky

Dear Dr. Jafarnia,
   I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for the care that you and Jennifer Ogle provided for my elbow.
   I was struck by the professional atmosphere provided at your office. The manner in which you handled my injury and previously,  my son Brant's, broken hand was tremendously effective. Jennifer is obviously a very capable assistant and upholds your unwavering high standards for patient care. Please pass my sincere thanks to her and all of your staff.
My elbow is better than ever.
Sincerley,

From Mrs. Patrice Gross:

Dr. Rosen,
I could never put into words or fully express my gratitude to you for taking my case, especially with it being a Mississippi Workman’s Comp situation. I hope you have received full compensation for your time & talents spent on my arms, and I hope you’ll always know how very much I appreciate your being there for me. You are someone I totally trust & believe in.

It is an incredible blessing for me to have a competent & talented hand specialist/surgeon to turn to. I know it will be a while before I’m completely back to ‘normal’ after such surgeries, but it’s wonderful already being free from the pre-surgery discomforts I have dealt with for the past 2 years now. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

You are a fantastic physician/surgeon, a wonderful person, and you have a gift for making your patients really feel important & cared about. I will continue referring you to everyone I know, both here in Houston & in Mississippi, as I do believe you are truly the BEST in your field.

Again, my heartfelt thanks to you, your office staff, Nancy (& all the therapists) for being so sweet, patient, & understanding with me. It’s weird to think someone will miss their doctor & his staff, but I know I will. This whole experience has been an answer to prayer for me and I’m eternally grateful.

Sincerely,
Patrice Gross


From Mrs. Madalyn Jones:

Dear Dr. Jafarnia,
   I  wanted to personally thank you for the care you have given me during my two hand surgeries and my most recent splinter incident. You are a very busy doctor and I can vouch for the reason; you care about your patients.
   My father was a surgeon before the time of HMO’s and other health plans. He, as did so many of his colleagues, spent time listening to his patients. Please take this as a compliment that even though you are of a very different generation, you have the spirit of the doctors of old. You have a gift for putting your patients at ease. I have healed because you have a heart for people.
   Bless you for the kindness you have given me. I pray for your god given talents as a surgeon.


From Wendy:
Old woman skis again thanks to Dr. Alan Rosen! After 4 surgeries in 8 months, all parts and pieces are working. Torn tendons in the right elbow, torn ligament (complete tear) in the left index finger and torn cartilage in the right wrist.
























From Mrs. Lynne Salcetti:
     My shoulder injury was caused by improper use of weights in 1990. The pain flared up every so often and a Cortisone injection usually took care of it for a few years.
     I now own a small business designing and fabricating stained glass lamps. In 2004 the recurrence of pain made it impossible to work on my glass, it was time for a permanent solution for my pain.
     Dr. Kant has treated my husband and children with the usual assortment of broken bones for over 25 years. Our now grown children still see him when needed. Therefore, I have a great deal of confidence in him.
     In March of 2004 Dr. Kant diagnosed a torn Rotator Cuff and Bone Spur. It was so convenient to have the physician’s office, MRI and Physical Therapy Center in one location.
    My surgery on April 28th 2005 went very well, and I started physical therapy one week later.
My team of therapists, Ricky, Andy and Evelyn were wonderful. Ricky was always checking my technique and progress. Andy and Evelyn stayed with me the entire session, always monitoring, encouraging me to do more and keeping my spirits up when I thought things were going to slowly. I finished my therapy in August of 2005, just four months after my surgery. I had regained 98% of my arm function, which I have heard is far above the normal result.
     I cannot say enough about the entire staff at KSF from the physicians and therapist to everyone who assisted me in my surgery and made my recovery a great one.
     I am back at work and have finished my first post-surgery lamp, something that I couldn’t imagine 6 months ago.
    








From Mr. Tim Pulliam:
Dear Dr. Kant
Thanks to you, here we are in Southern Chile. My knee is doing fine. I am being very careful with it, but having a great time. I may never come back.
     I just wanted to thank you for the great care from KSF. It's impossible to express how much you did for me. I was so worried that my skiing and hiking days were over.

                       



From Mr. Bryan Perkola:
Dear Dr. Jafarnia

I meant to write this letter right after my son's accident, but as life goes on, one day turns into two and before you know it years have gone by.

It has now been almost two years since you reattached the tip of my son's finger, but I wanted to thank you for the remarkable job you did to repair his finger. I have experienced numerous painful injuries in my life, but nothing compares to the pain of watching your two year old son with a potentially disfiguring injury even as minor as it was. The only visible scar that remains from the accident has slowly moved from the bottom of his finger to the tip, and if the pattern continues it will likely end up underneath his nail as he grows older.

I just wanted you to know that my wife and I really appreciate all the care and attention you gave our son especially after the lack of attention a physician in another practice displayed during a very trying time for any concerned parent.

If only all physicians could possess your medical skills and patient care.


From Mr. Charles McPhail:
I would like to take a few moments to compliment Dr. Rosen and the KSF staff for the outstanding professional service I received.

From the time I arrived at KSF, for my appointment with Dr. Rosen, my experience was positive. The entire KSF team was wonderful. I cannot think of one of your teammates that did not express a positive professional attitude. I felt their true concern for my welfare as the patient.

After my surgery I was assigned to Amy  and Elisa for my rehab. What a wonderful support team; professional, patient, knowledgeable, friendly and concerned. Luck was with me the day I received that assignment. Because of Amy and Elisa and the atmosphere they create I always look forward to attending my next therapy session. Amy has even called my home, checking to make sure that everything was ok. I was not assigned to the other team but my observation is that they are just as caring and professional and represent the KSF team well.

My experience with and exposure to the KSF team has been much better than I expected. It is obvious that you, and the owners of KSF realize that people are your most valuable asset. It is my humble observation that KSF has assembled a team that any organization would be proud of and a team your competitors would love to employ.

Again, a special thank you to Dr. Rosen, Amy, Elisa and your wonderful team.
