Despite being early in his career, Aaron demonstrated professionalism and empathy well beyond his years.
I spent 12 days on the Neuro floor following my stroke. Originally, I was scheduled to be discharged after five days, but a few complications extended my stay by another seven days. During this challenging time, I was fortunate to have Aaron as my nurse for several of his shifts.

Aaron is a natural in his role, compassionate, attentive, and deeply committed to his patients' well-being. He consistently went out of his way to listen to me and do whatever he could to improve my situation. Despite being early in his career, Aaron demonstrated professionalism and empathy well beyond his years. He didn't just see me as a patient; he treated me like a person.

Recognizing signs of depression from being confined to my room, Aaron took the initiative to speak with my wife and doctor to arrange time for me outside the room. That thoughtful gesture made a tremendous difference in my mental and emotional recovery.

Aaron's care and advocacy during my stay did not go unnoticed, and I'm sincerely grateful for the impact he had on my healing process.
