Festus and his mother look back on his experience with severe, multiple recurrent keloids and express their gratitude to Dr. Sanusi Umar and his team. In this chapter, one detail stands out: other doctors repeatedly asked Festus who had performed his surgery.
A Family’s Gratitude After a Difficult Keloid Story
Festus’s mother begins with thanks. She credits Dr. Umar and his team for what she calls “a marvelous job,” then gives Dr. Umar “a big thumb up.” Her words frame the chapter as a reflection on what the family has been through and the physician they credit for Festus’s care.
“We also have to thank this doctor and his team for a marvelous job.”

“Who Did That Surgery?”
Festus says a visit to his primary doctor became a memorable moment. He recalls seeing about four doctors there. According to Festus, they asked who had performed the surgery and told him the doctor had done a good job. He says similar questions followed him elsewhere as people asked which doctor had treated him and where that doctor practiced.
“Dr. Umar, Manhattan Beach.”

A Reaction Festus Remembered
For Festus, the repeated questions became part of the story he tells about his experience with recurrent scar tissue overgrowth. The chapter does not present those reactions as a guarantee for anyone else. It presents them as something that happened to Festus and stayed with him.
His mother’s gratitude is equally personal. She says she thanks God for introducing her to Dr. Umar and praises the work he and his team did. The chapter closes on that appreciation while keeping the focus on one patient’s experience. Results can vary.
