Patient Reviews
Sep 19, 2024
My aunt was admitted with a terminal condition. I was having to manage her care from a long distance and over the phone. Each call he placed to me made me feel as if I was speaking to a friend. He validated my concerns and never made me feel like he was rushing to get off the phone. Truly a wonderful listener.
