Dear Dr Red,
Before I leave for Manila, Philippines today, I thank you for the week of
learning from you. Since 2011, I have been researching on preceptorships on
Cosmetic Gynecology. I am very happy I made the right choice in choosing
your preceptorship. One major regret though is I should have decided on it
sooner. Those days spent in your institution made me realize that the world
of cosmetic Gynecology was moving fast and it took me quite a long time to
join in. I should just have taken the plunge sooner.

Your techniques are like no other in the world. There are so many unconventional learnings in your course that
I need to remind myself they happened before my eyes (example: extensive vaginoplasty in an outpatient
setting with no IV, using 40 cc local anesthetics, with the patient talking to us during the procedure and
allowing that patient to drink fluids).

You are constantly contributing to the practice of Cosmetic Gynecology. I am so excited to read your textbook
on Cosmetic Gynecology. You developed Thermiva which has changed management of a lot of gynecological
conditions, from surgical into nonsurgical.

I appreciate that you have maintained small groups of 3-4 students. I also chose your course because I know
I can go back for more surgical refinementsor when you develop new skills/technology. Many are giving this
course for half the price but they have 15-20 students all at the same time. Common stories are that there
is a cosmetic gyne trained by another doctor, realizes he/she needs to improve himself more, seeks out you
out in Laguna Beach. Or somebody already practicing CoSmetic Gynecology for a longtime visits you for
refinements.

I’m in this for the long haul. I wanted to start it right, I wanted to be trained by the master himself or by
the person who trained the trainers now. For somebody well known and at the top of your field, I saw how
humble and kind you are. No egos around here.

Thank you. See you soon!
