From the moment we arrived, Eileen was super sweet to both me and my fiancé. I came into the hospital with my two kids who are 10 years old and 15 months old. Eileen helped oversee them in the waiting room while I gave birth within the hour of arriving at the birthing center. She was quick to help me with medication for my cramps immediately after giving birth. What I was most impressed with and extremely thankful for was after a rough night with very little sleep, she offered to take care of my newborn for a few hours sensing that my fiancé and I were completely sleep deprived! I was so thankful for the small break she gave us and just how genuine, compassionate and mindful she is especially during such a special time like this in my family's life. I wish I had a nurse like her around for my first two kids! God bless her!

As soon as I walked in for my scheduled c-section, Eileen was there with a smile and made me feel not only informed but comfortable about the procedure I was about to go through. Whenever I would get nervous she was right there reassuring me everything was going to be fine. Everything I needed she got for me; even a certain kind of soda she had to call down to get. She made this already amazing experience of bringing my son into this world even better and I will never forget her. She is the definition of an extraordinary nurse and she goes beyond the expectations of her patients effortlessly.
