Well since the-draft -editor got the most votes im gonna try it out and hope the people that actually voted for it are real and not fake accounts created to increase their score. I had submitted it right now with urgent delivery selected so according to their site i should get it back by 4:30 CT.

I will post on my results when i get it.

Dear Docnas,

I wanted to take a moment to respond to your post and express my hope that you were satisfied with the work we did on your personal statement. Like you, I also hope that the people who have voted for my company are real, since I genuinely believe we offer the best personal statement services out there and would not want our rating to be falsely inflated in any way.

To tell you a little more about my experience and why I believe my company is rated the highest of the companies on this forum, I first started editing medical residency personal statements for my friends when I was still working for UNESCO. These friends appreciated the unique, personal approach I took to each of their personal statements and recommended me to others. This led to my having edited a few dozen personal statements for medical residency before I met my wife, my experience with whom gave me invaluable insight into the medical residency application process.

Unlike the friends I had helped previously, my wife (this was before we were married) had almost everything going against her. She was an international medical graduate from Venezuela, with more than two years since she had graduated from medical school, no US clinical experience, almost two years since her last clinical experience (she had moved to the US to study for and pass the USMLE tests), and an F1 visa. However, in spite of this, I helped her write an outstanding personal statement, as well as the other components of her ERAS application, and she was able to obtain a PGY1 position in OB-GYN, which was her specialty.

Since that time, the editors who work for me and I have edited hundreds of personal statements every year, giving each one the same personal attention and expertise that I had devoted to and learned from my friends and wife. It is out of this experience that we have established ourselves as leaders in editing personal statements for medical residency, particularly for IMG applicants.

I hope this helps to provide a little more information about our qualifications for editing medical residency personal statements. If you or anyone else would like more information about our qualifications or the services we provide, please visit us at www.The-Draft-Editor.com or feel free to send me an email at [email protected].

www.The-Draft_Editor.com is now www.DLAEditors.com

Dear All,

Because many of you are valued clients of David Lombardino & Associates editing and proofreading services, we wanted you to be among the first to know about some exciting changes we're making

First, we've changed our name to DLA Editors & Proofers. Our excellent editorial staff remains intact and I am still the owner and editor-in-chief; we just think the shorter name is easier to remember and more directly tells potential clients what it is we do.

Second, we've updated and improved our website. We do have a new URL, www.DLAEditors.com, but our current URL, www.the-draft-editor.com,will remain active for the foreseeable future. Both URLs will take you to the new site, which we think is much easier to use and navigate.

Our Advice for Personal Statements, which many of you have found helpful, is now located at www.dlaeditors.com/advice_for_personal_statements.html, though the link in my previous post will take you there as well.

What's not changing is our commitment to clients like you, which has enabled our success and growth; we've edited over 20 million words-including over 900 personal statements for medical residency-for more than 1,000 clients over the last four years. Our exceptionally high standards of excellence and relentless dedication to service is what got us here-we're not about to change that now!

If you have a personal statement that needs the highest-quality editing and proofreading, I urge you to explore our new website and discover how we can help you realize the fullest potential for your project.

If you have any feedback, questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact me directly. We look forward to working with you!

Sincerely,
David Lombardino

Thank You for Your Feedback

...and Mr. Lombardino, you're time would be better spent tending to your clients and not trolling the forums. If your service was as exceptional as you believe it to be, you would have no reason to worry about sites like these. Customer service and satisfaction speaks volumes about a company and its reputation. Your earlier reputation will quickly be dissolved if all of your clients prove to have these same experiences.

Dear KeyMeMD,

Thank you for sharing your experiences with my company. As the owner and editor in chief of DLA Editors & Proofers, I take great pride in the quality of our work and am continually on the look-out for ways to improve our services. I find that visiting this and other blogs is a helpful way for me to know what our clients think and how we can improve our services for the future.

Please allow me to apologize for the experience that you have had. You are absolutely right that this is not the service we guarantee, nor is it in line with the expectation I have of my editors. I would like to investigate this matter further to see what solution we can provide. I know time is of the essence, so I will put a top priority on having your concerns addressed.

Would you be available either later today or tomorrow to discuss this further? You can email me at [email protected] or call me at 832-426-3455. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Regards,
DLA Editors & Proofers
