Fifteen Saint Joseph physicians, providers receive kudos!

Saint Joseph Hospital often receives notes of gratitude from patients and family members, as well as words of recognition from colleagues and associates, about physicians who have given extraordinary care and service. We’re proud to recognize them here.

Bree Ashdown, MD

Her natural aura of kindness precedes her into a room and is so greatly appreciated, not only for her concern for my husband, but also for her many looks of encouragement that were sent my way. She answered our questions with clarity and included me in all discussions to ensure my husband and I understood the same messages and had a clear understanding of the issues.

Nick Chapman, DO

• Thank you so much for being an amazing co-resident and friend! Not only are you planning to cover one of my night floats so I can go to my best friend’s wedding, but you are also a team player and a great human to work with!

• I will never forget the busy night I had in the ICU this past year, when I felt overwhelmed and needed help. I called you asking for help, and within five minutes you were upstairs asking, “What can I do to help?” I can’t thank you enough for your support and I am lucky to have you as one of my co-residents! Thank you so much for everything!

Will Cohen, MD, Andrew Faber, MD, Emily Russell, DO, and Meaghan Spencer, MD

They were all professional and courteous. I would absolutely recommend this hospital to family and friends.  

Lanny Dunham, MD

A patient would like to thank you for the wonderful care you provided! 

Golburn Galyon, DO

The entire team was very impressed with his patience and demeanor while he was dealing with a difficult patient. As a house supervisor, I can’t tell you how much I value working with staff like him!

Aaron Lynn, MD

He explained everything very well, which helped me understand all that we discussed. He was exceptional!

Tristan Meador, MD

He took the time to sit down and explain everything in detail. He was kind and patient, and I felt heard by him. Thank you!

Kyle Norder, MD

He was incredibly comforting and knowledgeable!

Christopher North, PA

He was very professional. His confidence and caring spirit were appreciated!

Anne Prendergast, MD

She was very nice! I appreciated her concern for my condition and treatment.

Alexander Shapiro, MD

He exhibited special concern for my husband’s wishes, took the time to answer his questions, advocated for him when his preferences might have conflicted with what is “normally” done, and seemed to recognize him not as an “ill” individual, but rather as the totally capable and unstoppable force of nature that he normally is. 

Jeffrey Weiner, MD

He was extremely courteous and kind. He listened to me and communicated well!
