To Whom It May Concern:
I am writing this letter of support for Patricia Stead. I am a Facial Plastic
Surgeon in the Tampa Bay Area, and I have had the opportunity to work
with Patricia in my previous facelifting practice. Patricia is quite
comfortable and experienced with this patient clientele, and her years of
experience in plastic surgery are a true asset.
She easily relates to patients and is effective in helping them to feel
comfortable with the uncertainties of choosing a cosmetic procedure. I
have found her to be an effective office manager as well, setting
appropriate boundaries for staff and clearly communicating the goals and
priorities necessary to lead a large team.
Of her many strengths, Patricia’s people skills are her most important
quality. Connecting with patients and staff is the foundation of our practice,
and Patricia’s emotional maturity and experience are quite easy to see.
Patricia encourages a wonderful team atmosphere, and goes the extra mile
to bring staff together and build staff rapport.
In addition to her communication skills, I find Patricia to be very organized
with paperwork, scheduling, and charting.
In conclusion, I am happy to endorse Patricia’s application, and I feel
confident that she will be an asset for any office that is fortunate enough to
work with her. Please do not hesitate to contact me personally if you have
any additional questions 813-447-0499 (cell).
Warm and Cordial Regards,
Richard D. Castellano, M.D.
