Dear Dr. Chavez, I wanted to drop you a note and let you know that Richard is doing well. The change to Richard's skin is amazing. When he first came to you he had severe scaring and acne all over his face and neck. He now has clear skin and almost no scaring. He gets an occasional pimple, but they are minor and go away quickly with over the counter treatment. Richard is a senior, and will be graduating next month. He's headed to Eastern New Mexico University on a scholarship. He plans to study political science, and wants to pursue a career in politics/law. He also writes and has had a short story published by an on-line magazine, and he is interested in doing voice-over work. We bought him a suit for graduation, and when he put it on, the alterations person asked if he was graduating from law school! He is regularly mistaken for being 25, and I'm sure the lack of acne contributes greatly to that. Thanks so much for what you did for Richard. I know it's your business, but it's a great business to be in, one where you can really see the results of what you do! We regularly tell people about Clearwaves. Thanks. Joy Moore
