"Dr. Crofts & Girls,
I just wanted to say thank you & say how great I think your office is. I know it is very unusual to be scheduled for surgery 2 weeks from your consultation with such a great doctor and I wanted to tell you I sure appreciate you fitting me in! Your guys are great!
Love,
L.A."
"Dearest Dr. Crofts and Staff,
I love you all so very much! I cannot begin to thank you enough for all of the kindness, support, and patience you showed toward me this past year.
Dr. Crofts, you are a MIRACLE WORKER! I have shed tears of gratitude for all of the years you spent studying, the endless hours of honing your skills to bless lives. You've blessed mine and I will forever be grateful.
Love,
J.S."
"Dr. Crofts,
I have been in the best hands! Thank you so much for taking such good care of me and making me feel so much better and confident from the inside out!
The year and half I waited to get into you was worth it. Thank you for always being so kind and answering all of my questions, because I know I ask a lot.
I knew you were going to be great from all the research I did on finding the best to do this big surgery that I have been so excited and anxious for. You and your nurses and staff have exceeded my expectations! I will make sure to tell everyone I know that you guys are the very best! Glad to know you.
Love,
L.L."
"Dr. Crofts & Staff
I just wanted to say thank you for the great experience of going through such a major life transformation. After 5 kids, PCOS, and hormonal weight gain, I felt pretty hopeless about ever feeling good about my body again. Diets, exercise, and everything in between just weren't giving me great results.
I was really nervous about a surgical option, but after meeting you and your staff I felt very peaceful about my decision. I felt like I was in good hands. Two months out and I can't say enough how happy I am and how good I feel. I feel so much more like myself and not lost in a body I don't recognize.
I'm so grateful to you and your staff and am so happy with the whole experience! Thanks again!
J.N."
"Dear Dr. Crofts,
Thank you so very much for all the time and effort you put into my recent surgery. You always go above and beyond and it means so much. I'm very excited for the changes. I really appreciate all that you've done for me.
Thanks,
M.B."
"Dr. Crofts,
Thank you for being someone I could trust so implicitly. I really appreciate all your dedication and care. You really went above and beyond to make this a great experience for me. I’ll breathe easier everyday for the rest of my life thanks to you!
Sincerely,
A.J."
"Dear Dr. Crofts,

All my love,
T."
"Dear Dr. Crofts,
The first day I walked into your office was a red letter day for me. Not only for your brilliance and skill as a surgeon who has worked miracles on my poor, old, weakly body, but most of all, I gained a great friend who has a generous nature and I want you to know how much I appreciate all you are.
Fondly,
G."
"Dear Dr. Crofts and Staff,
I just wanted to say thank you for your excellent care during my surgery and recovery. I am so happy with the results and am so grateful to all of you for your knowledge and professionalism. Your kindness and care are appreciated and I feel so pleased to have been able to be one of your patients.
Kind Regards,
C.B."
"Dr. Crofts,
I knew I picked the best doctor to make my dreams come true. Thank you for your compassion and care. I am thankful for you and all your knowledge and years of expertise on patient care and plastic surgery. I love that you want to make a positive impact on the world - your life must be so full.
Thank you again for being such an amazing doctor and helping me progress and health.
With great gratitude,
N.R."
"Dear Dr. Crofts,
After leaving your office today - I wanted to make sure you knew how much I appreciate you. Thank you for listening to me... I know you're the best, most skilled and qualified. I'd fly across the ocean to have you as my surgeon. I hope you understand I'm not disappointed with your work ? my body will never be the "ideal" that I see around me. I had a doctor (family physician) tell me a few years ago that I don't have a super model body. I knew it and I know it today. I work so hard at the gym to be healthy and fit.
Thanks for not blowing me off. Thank you for the x-tra time and care to get me where I'd like to be, you're awesome. See you in 6 weeks!
M.B."
"Dr. Crofts & Staff,
You were all a pleasure to work with!
Sincerely,
S. & J."
"Dear Dr. Crofts,
Thank you for the new lease on life you have helped give my daughter, A.J. It is nice to hear her say she can breathe easier now, amongst other pulses. I really appreciate you postponing her surgery when she had the boil. Although inconvenient for everyone, it helped me be more confident knowing you would take precautions to make sure all went well. Thanks for your integrity and perfectionism! Thanks for taking good care of my girl!
In gratitude,
R.L.J."
"Dear Dr. Crofts & Staff,
I just wanted to take a moment and thank you for the amazing work you do. Although it has only been two weeks post surgery... there is already a significant change in my body, mind and spirit too! I physically feel better and I am so motivated by the changes to come in the near future. I also enjoyed looking with you staff. Deena and Andrea are so knowledgeable, sweet and professional. After my appointments I would leave your office wanting to ask them out to lunch! I will be your loyal customer and am so grateful to have been able to not only change my body but my attitude about my "self." Thanks again and congratulations on your upcoming nuptials!
J.S."
"Dear Dr. Crofts,
Thank you so much for everything you have done for me. I am so grateful and appreciate you so much. I hope that this donation will help in your great work in Africa with the HART foundation. I hope you have great success on your trip this year. I'm sure you will help and bless many people.
Thanks again,

"Dear Dr. Crofts and my Aesthetica Family,
Happy St. Patrick's Day! It has a new meaning to me now. It's the two year anniversary of my first plastic surgery! Whahoo! What an interesting, challenging, but very rewarding this journey has been. I was nervous, but determined to have a new beginning to my life, which required some extensive help from you wonderful people. Thank you all for helping me through this life-changing process.
Dr. Crofts, you are my hero! Thank you for your skill and talent, your patience with me, for making my journey as pleasant as possible, and for giving me such a wonderful gift. You changed my life and gave me a reason to smile. I also can't say enough good things about your exceptional staff. They make you shine!
Hugs to you all,
D.B."
"Dr. Crofts and Staff:
I want to thank you for working me in on Tuesday and taking the time with me and for the time the staff took to set up my surgery. I also want to thank you for adding me on for surgery even though it was such a busy day. I have always had a great experience with you and the office staff.
Thank you so much!
R.B."
"Dear Dr. Crofts:
I wanted to write and thank you for your great care as I had surgery yesterday. I almost enjoyed the experience. The surgical staff couldn't have been more caring or professional as well. Keeping my husband informed and in the loop was wonderful too. We also thoroughly enjoyed the political conversation.
Thank you so much,
M.U."
"Dear Dr. Crofts:
The last many months have provided ample opportunity for me to reflect upon the many blessings that I have had and hopefully will continue to enjoy in life due to the immeasurable sacrifice Jesus Christ made so that we could be seen as without sin in the eyes of His Father and be enjoined to Him forever.
It would have been my preference to become your acquaintance, or better yet your friend through entirely different circumstances than the way in which I have come to know you. However I recognize it is not my will that directs my life. Instead, you were revealed to me as another blessing and I shall be forever grateful for given the extraordinary level of care you have provided me.
Thank you also for the dedication to your profession and the other pursuits of interest in your life, such as being a part of HART and other worthy endeavors. I wish you, your wife and your family great joy and happiness in every aspect of your pursuits in this life.
I shall be forever indebted to you. It would also please me if you take a moment and extend my appreciation to your medical practice's personnel. I have experienced their kind manner which would make you proud of the example they too are setting in patient care.
Most Respectfully,
G.S."
"Dear Dr. Crofts,
I came to your office today for services in your spa. When I walked in I was immediately overwhelmed with the collage of photos in your entrance. I saw the compassion and passion that you must feel helping others.
At that very moment, looking at those amazing photos, I realized that I met you for a reason. I thought about the grief I have experienced in the last two plus years. But when I saw those children in your photos, I knew my pain could never compare to theirs.
I hope you don’t mind that I took a photo of your collage. I wanted to share it with others and make it a constant reminder for me, that there are those much less fortunate in the world.
Thank you for all your heartfelt, humanitarian deeds and I will be forever indebted to you and all you have done for me.
I hope you know how much you are appreciated.
Best regards,
J.G."
"Dr. Crofts and Staff,
Thank you for your amazing care! I am in love with my new “girls”! You did exactly what I asked for; I love them! Now, can I please exercise already??
E.W."
"Dr. Crofts,
I don’t know how to even start to thank you for what you’ve done for me. Thank you doesn’t seem like enough. You have given me the gift of self esteem for the first time in my life I feel pretty and I can’t tell you in words how that feels! I wanted to do something for you to say how very grateful I am for the beautiful gift of happiness that you have given me. I picked the colors from the picture in your waiting room. I am sure the people in that picture love you for what you did for them as much as I do.

I just wanted to thank you for doing such an incredible job on my surgery. It’s made such a difference in the way I look and feel.

"Dear Dr. Crofts,
We cannot thank you enough for all you have done for us! You will never know what it meant to us when you took the time to oversee the local doctor down here, took the time to answer multiple phone calls in the middle of the night from the ER doctor (sorry about that one), and took the time to address all our concerns. One thing you don't have a lot of is time - so thank you!
T's "stitch" hole is completely healed! All that remains is a small dimple. We are so grateful for all you and your amazing staff did for us. It's a huge relief to have a doctor we trust and feel we can count on. Thank You!
We wish you all the best as you welcome your new addition this spring. When he/she arrives only then will you begin to live the best time of your life. Thanks Again!
T and R"
"Dear Dr. Crofts -
This is a long overdue thank you for the wonderful job you did of healing the wound on my leg. I appreciate the skills you have developed that were critical in the good outcome that I experienced your pleasant bed side manner always made the office visit a good experience too. I wish you continued success in your practice and HART African mission.
Sincerely, P.O."

Thank you so much!! You must feel very rewarded with the work you do. Seeing you smile when I walked in yesterday, let me know you see the difference you have made in the way I see and fell about myself.

Again, thank you and I hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas.

"Dear Dr. Crofts, -
I just wanted to write a quick note to let you know what a great experience I have had with my surgery, and working with you and your staff. This is why I love you guys!
#1 I look freakin "FANTASTIC!" After 4 kids, I never dreamed I could look this good again. I am so thankful for my tummy tuck and my beautiful boobs - LOVE them!
#2 You have the best staff in Utah County. I am a meticulous researcher, and I went all over the state meeting doctors and their staffs. I was blown away when I met your nurses - they sat down and took an hour with me, going through everything to expect after the surgery, you have an incredible staff!
#3 I had no complications, infections, and need no revisions (I am sooo thankful!) I was so appreciative that I stayed overnight at the surgical center, and got great follow up care in the days and weeks following my surgery. Thank you so much for this incredible experience.

"Dear Dr. Crofts,
***** and I have received many blessings in 2009; we witnessed several large miracles as well. We realized we were in his hands when we were directed to you after my accident.
You are a brilliant and dedicated surgeon. We thank you and pray the Lord blesses you richly in 2010.
Sincerely,
B. & S."

"Dear Dr. Crofts,
I just wanted to say thank you! I am so happy-thrilled with what you have done for me. It was well worth having my cute belly before-hands, but to look like I haven’t had two babies is super! I appreciate the skill you have worked so hard to acquire, though I think it is partially innate in you as well.
Most Sincerely,
N.B."

This surgery changed my life Thank you, Thank you, Thank You!!!
C. & A."
"Dear Dr. Crofts and Staff (Amy, Andrea, and everyone),
Can't thank you enough for the support and encouragement, not to mention the excellent surgical technique that brought me through this life changing yes it's that great experience! I actually never thought I'd get an "aug" but now I wish I would have done it earlier. It's hard to explain what changes internally to make life so great because I have such a nice set! It's not like I didn't have self confidence or self esteem, but for some reason it has taken it to a higher level! You were all wonderful so thank you, thank you, and thank you! And best wishes and luck on your trip to Africa!
Love,

Thank you so much for the wonderful care you have given me. Your office staff are one in a million they all treat you with such kindness and care, you just don't find an office like yours.

"Dr. Crofts & Staff,
You were right, the 230 cc was perfect! I am so happy with the results, and I have a lot more confidence now that I don't look like a 19 year old who has nursed 12 children. I have to give you props Doc. I don't know where you found so many wonderful women to work for you. I am going to miss coming to your office just because of how friendly and concerned everyone there is. If ever I need any future work done, I would only consider going to you. Thank you so much for your top-notch and artistic work! I'd recommend you to anyone.
-Love,
L.Z."
"Dr. Crofts,
We want to thank you again for all you did for us this year. T... is doing great! He's back doing everything thanks to you! We really appreciated your staff too, they were so kind with the exception of Andrea's "brutal breast assault"...for the record the "breast massage" didn't really happen? haha! No really? everyone was great to work with.
Thank you so much!
Love,
T. & R.
Ps. Hopefully after the first of the year we can track you down to meet for dinner."

I just wanted to take a minute and thank you from the bottom of my heart. The work you have done on me has truly changed my life. It's not only the work you do but it is the relationships you create with your patience. You take time out of your busy schedule to take a minute & get to know them, and show them you care.

Much Thanks!

"Dr. Crofts,
Thank you for taking extra time during my appointment today for some very minor surgery at the end of a long work day, you didn’t have to fit that in, Thank you!
I appreciate how easy you & your staff make it for patients to feel comfortable & able to ask questions. Your fun personality has made each of my appointments a lot of fun. Your staff has been incredibly open & helpful. At some point I’ll need to learn more about Lake Powell from you & get some house boast referrals before winter this year. You’re great & I appreciate all you’ve done for me!
K.V."
"Dear Dr. Crofts & Co-Workers,
I just wanted to tell you all how much I appreciate your efforts & kindness. Out of the six Dr. Offices that I visited for consultations, I was treated with the most sincerity, respect, & concern from everyone in your establishment. Every email that I sent or phone call I made was returned immediately. Every effort was made by your co-workers to aid me with any questions or concerns that I had. After my surgery I received phone calls ensuring my comfort & physical safety. Dr. Crofts, you always very very professional in your dearings, making me feel very assured & comfortable about my choices. I just wanted to say thank you all so….much. Taking such steps to aid in the raising of my self-image & self confidence began with some fears & doubts, but ended in a joyful experience!
Sincerely,
A.P."
"Dear Dr. Crofts,
I’m not sure my daughter has thanked you properly for the kindness you showed her following her aborted surgery-surely you remember the gluteal non-sterile implants on my daughter. Thank you for your kindness in helping her resolve her painful posterior problems - I have recommended your office to others since then ? mainly because of your kind gestures.
M.B."
"Dr. Crofts,
Thank you for being so good with A. Ya’ll are great. Secondly, thanks for being so patriotic and appreciative. What a breath of fresh air to talk to people like yourself and have you echo feelings like patriotism and duty. Those beliefs are few and far between today. Thanks for what you do.
Thanks again!
M. & A."
"Dr. Crofts & Staff,
I just wanted to first off thank you, and your staff for being so extremely friendly and helpful to me. It was a great comfort to my husband in Iraq knowing that I was in such good hands here."
"Dr. Crofts,
I don’t even know where to begin! THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I don’t think I could say it enough!! You are absolutely wonderful at what you do. I can honestly say that before my surgery, I felt a sense of peace and comfort knowing that I’d be under your care. Your work is exceptional and I am so happy with the results. You have indeed boosted my self confidence! I now feel beautiful and sexy in a way that I really didn’t feel before! I am truly amazed at what you were able to accomplish. So, thank you…thank you for being so good, so educated! Thank you for having such an amazing staff of wonderful women who have made me feel so welcome. Most importantly, thank you for being so kind and so willing to care of me.
Not only am I grateful for your superb knowledge and skills in medicine but I am also grateful for your friendship. I’m so grateful for these past nine or so months that have given me the opportunity to get to know you. I hope that there will be many more months to come! You are such a great person and a joy to be around. Thank you for accepting me and making me feel like a friend. I am indeed grateful for the opportunity I’ve been blessed with to know you.
So, now that I feel like I’ve probably said too much, I’ll say thanks on more time! Thank you for EVERYTHING!! I really appreciate all that you’ve done.
Much Love,
N.P."

"Dr. Crofts,
Thank you for restoring my body and giving me a new lease in life. No doubt it was your amazing surgical talent that allowed me to recover remarkably faster than my c-sections. I had heard you were the best plastic surgeon around, and now I know that to be true. Your staff is wonderful and helped to add to my positive experience. Thanks again, you and your staff are amazing.

"Very few people have the talent to make everyone around them simply feel happy just by the simple & kind things they do. You are one of those kind of people.

Thank you so much for helping me with my project ? It’s amazing to me that you find the time out of your already busy schedule to help me with something that doesn’t have as big of an importance compared to your many surgeries & patients & all the people & things you have to take care of. Thank you very much DOC! I hope you like your little present….its a little something to help you keep your many great memories ? Thanks again DOC!
Love always,

"I am finally free to be me again! I can be funny, and not feel like I'm the "fat girl" in the room trying to cover up her insecurities. I can wear cute, funky, and stylish clothing. I can wear colors, patterns, and bright designs. I can join in and participate in activities without feeling that I might embarrass myself. I know it sounds somewhat superficial, but those things we wear and the activities we participate in are a huge part of who we are. I feel like the real me has been in a cage for the last 20 years, and has finally been set free!"
"Dear Dr. Crofts and Staff,
How can I ever begin to thank you enough for something that has literally changed my life! There are not words to express my gratitude or my happiness!
I didn't necessarily think I was unhappy over the last 20 years, but I am slowly realizing that over that time a part of me was dying. I have spent the last 20 years trying to "hide out" from the rest of the world.
My wardrobe consisted of large t-shirts and loose sweatpants. I wore a lot of black and dark brown to try and hide my shape. Because of the large flap of skin that I carried everywhere with me, it was hard for me to participate in activities with family and friends. Even exercising with other people was hard for me. I'm not the kind of person who has ever really cared about what anyone else thought of me, but I did realize that I'm the kind of person who cares a lot about what I think of myself. I don't know if that even makes sense, but I didn't really like the person that I had become. Much more than the physical aspect of this procedure is the emotional aspect that you have also healed.

I am finally free to be me again! I can be funny, and not feel like I'm the "fat girl" in the room trying to cover up her insecurities. I can wear cute, funky, and stylish clothing. I can wear colors, patterns, and bright designs. I can join in and participate in activities without feeling that I might embarrass myself. I know it sounds somewhat superficial, but those things we wear and the activities we participate in are a huge part of who we are. I feel like the real me has been in a cage for the last 20 years, and has finally been set free!
Deciding to have a tummy tuck was right up there with some of the other great decisions I have made in life. I mean big decisions, like getting married and having children. I am so, so glad that I decided to have the procedure done. I wish that I had had the courage to do it for myself 10 years ago. I can't get back those past 10 years of hiding away from the world, but I am immensely excited for the next 30 or so ahead!
From the moment that I walked into your office, I felt that I was among friends. All your staff are wonderful, kind, and accommodating. From the first meeting with you and your staff, I knew that you were the one I would choose for my procedure. I felt that you all took the time to get to know me and address my concerns. All my questions were answered and I felt completely at ease. Meeting with someone for the first time and having to show them your greatest physical flaw is a huge and scary thing! You all handled it with grace and understanding and allowed me to keep my dignity in the process. From you, Dr. Crofts, I felt someone who loves what he does, and takes pride in his work. You took the time to address the emotional issues as well.

I had had a previous consultation with another plastic surgeon that had been recommended to me. I had already scheduled a surgery date and made a down payment. I'm so grateful that I took the time for another consult! Meeting with you made making the decision to have my procedure so much easier. It should tell others something that I was willing to lose my down payment as well as cancel all the previous plans, to have you do my surgery.
You have a wonderful staff! I can't thank your nurses enough for their kindness and concern during the whole procedure....including appointments both before and after the surgery. They have taken the time to truly address and explain everything along the way. Knowing that I could call them at any time was a great relief.
Having the procedure was one of the best decisions I have ever made! You truly have set me free; to be me again! You can and should take great pride in your profession and the business that you have built. Plastic surgery sometimes gets a "bad rap" but you have, as previously stated, healed me physically, mentally, and emotionally. I will be forever grateful for all that you have done for me!
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart and my new cute belly!
