Jay took care of my father after his lumbar fusion. He shows empathy and compassion when my father experienced pain. He is knowledgeable about different types of pain meds and their side effects. He offers alternatives when appropriate. He clearly updates my father's clinical course and plan of treatment with me. He monitors my father on a regular basis. He is a team player, helping PT with brace assembly. He is professional, dedicated, genuinely caring, and compassionate. It is my pleasure to nominate Jay.
