I received care from Janette Pietila during a colonoscopy and upper GI endoscopy. Janette was absolutely wonderful and answered all the questions I had, silly or not, with a lot of detail that I could understand as a patient. She was so funny and made sure to make me laugh a ton before I went into anesthesia to calm down my nerves. She often checked on my best friend, who had been waiting, and made sure she felt comfortable. Overall, I had the best experience with staff members and nurses I’ve ever had here. She even talked to me about nursing school and her experiences, as I’m going into my second year, and just gave me such a positive outlook on my future.

Thank you, Janette, for your exceptional compassion, advocacy, and dedication to your patients. You truly make a difference.
