Saint Joseph Hospital often receives notes of gratitude from patients and family members, as well as words of recognition from colleagues and caregivers, about physicians and APPs who have given extraordinary care and service.

Christopher Awtrey, MD, and Alexander Shapiro, MD: Thank you for responding quickly and with great skill to help with a difficult surgery!

Mitchell Kerr, MD: He did a wonderful job taking care of patients while taking time to advance his personal education.

Riley Parr, MD: He went above and beyond in his care of patients and multitasking many responsibilities as a hard-working resident in the Caritas Clinic. Thank you!

Margaret Saccomano, MD: You were knowledgeable and informative while also making me feel comforted and empowered to make my own decisions. You made me feel safe and supported me the whole way through. Everyone I encountered at your practice in fact was stellar.

Robert Sturgeon, MD: He was friendly, patient, attentive, caring, and helped me understand my diagnosis. He even gave me a visual by drawing on a board so that I had a clear understanding of my diagnosis. He answered all my questions in a sweet tone and no hesitation. He is a great doctor, and I am so happy he was here to treat me. I do not wish to come back, but if I do, I hope he is here! Thank you.

Heather Van Dyke, NP: She was thorough, compassionate and provided excellent care!
