Here’s a slightly more personalized version including that:
I recently had knee surgery with Dr. Isbell, and I couldn’t be more pleased with my experience. He has a wonderful bedside manner — taking the time to explain everything clearly and making me feel comfortable and confident going into surgery. His team was equally caring, professional, and supportive throughout the entire process. The procedure went smoothly, and my recovery has been better than I expected. I’m truly grateful for the excellent care I received and highly recommend Dr. Isbell to anyone needing knee surgery.
