Dear Dr. Ornstein, I would take this belated opportunity to thank you for your diligence and excellent work you performed on my partial nephrectomy some 8 months ago. I am pleased to inform that my one partial kidney is performing well, no dialysis etc and my creatin count is hovering around 1.3. I have lost a lot more weight since we met to my prior gastric bypass and consequently my health, despite the loss of one and a partial kidneys, is remarkably good, for which I greatly appreciate your surgical expertise.
