I have worked with Dan as a coworker for the last 2 years, and I am proud to work alongside him. Dan always greets his patients and coworkers with a warm, friendly smile. He takes the time to really hear them and make them feel seen. We often work with crisis situations or get swamped with many appointments throughout the day, causing stress in the workplace. Despite this, Dan continues to slow the pace in the most positive way, listening to his patients and ensuring they are heard and receive the best care possible.
