Testimonials

July 13, 2009


Dear Dr. Bourland

It has been over 9 years since I had my mastectomy and TRAM reconstructive surgery. I have not had any problems since then and I am very grateful for the excellent care that I have received from you and Dr. Patrick Hodges.

I am probably in better physical condition than I was before my DCIS diagnosis, an unusual situation for a 58 year-old woman! I believe that the fact that I have been regularly attending yoga classes (about three times per week for the last six years) has contributed significantly to my excellent condition.

Because breast cancer/breast surgery can exert long-term negative effects on women-both physical and psychological-I hope that you and your staff will mention to your patients the benefits of yoga. For your patients who live in North Dallas, I can vouch for the quality of the studio I attend: Niyama Yoga. Niyama Yoga offers superb, personalized instruction in comfortable, friendly surroundings. Mitra Valatabar, the owner and primary instructor at Niyama Yoga, is keenly sensitive to her students' physical and psychological condition and helps each progress at a pace that fits their needs.

If your patients have questions about yoga, I would be more than happy to share my experiences with them.

Thank you... and thank you again for your excellent care!

Best regards,




Jane Ramberg
