Good Samaritan Physician & Provider Kudos - July 2023
Clinician to Named Clinician Compliment:
“Kristina Palmer, NNP, in the NICU came down to help with the pediatric code today. She did not have to. They were 1 year old. But she stayed and helped and made sure we had a line and an airway before she left. It was wonderful, and we are very grateful for her!”
Patient to Named Clinician Compliments:
“John Archard, MD, was excellent at explaining and breaking down his take on my condition and his opinion on how to approach treatment and actions going forward. He seemed to acknowledge my understanding of certain terminology and was kind to fill in information I did not know. There was at no point at which I felt talked down to. I would trust Dr. Archard in handling and treating diagnoses that he is confident in, and I felt a genuine care and interest in the wellbeing of others from him. He provided an audiobook to me which was highly relevant to my situation. Thank you, Dr. Archard!”
"Ended up in the ER with my husband in extreme pain. The staff was awesome. Went above and beyond to help us. When it became apparent that they could not resolve it - they brought in a specialist - Isabelle Audet, MD, who was amazing. They got his surgery done early in the morning. I was happy with everyone. Thank you!"
"Very happy with Kevin Bach, MD!”
"Richard Bindseil, MD, was funny, reassuring, engaged with me in conversation, keeping the tone light while obtaining information in a professional manner.”
“Aaron Blau, MD, and Douglas Ornoff, MD, were excellent!”
"Daniel W. Cheek, MD, was excellent! He was very kind and patient getting the bleeding to stop so he could cauterize instead of just inserting a balloon. I very much appreciated him! Great bedside manner!"

“Ming-Jay Wu, MD, was my doctor in the ER. He listened to me and asked me some questions, I answered and asked his nurse Jenn to proceed. He talked to my husband while Jenn took over. He came back and talked to me about what he prescribed and was very nice and explained what to do in the next couple of days.”
“A ‘team’ was created because of the unique circumstances, and I am grateful for all the care given by cardiologists, general doctors, and neurologists. Doctors David Haukeness, Avrom Kurtz, Alex Landy, Robert Schabbing, Jonathan Young, and Elisa Zaragoza Macias were all exceptional and attentive. Please recognize them on a corporate level and convey my appreciation as a person in major heart distress and general customer care. As dramatic as this may sound, in my situation of uncertainty, they provided a level of comfort I cannot express fully. I am grateful."
General Patient-to-Clinician Compliments:
My doctor was very patient and attentive, we appreciated his explaining all the test results and the follow-up doctor visit.
The doctor helped me calm down and explained why my situation was not as dramatic as I thought it was. Visited with a neurosurgeon to gather more information then communicated it to me. I was very satisfied with his work and calmness as working with me.
