Patients and families are very happy having Julie in the Center. They feel comforted by her care. One patient said, "I remember when I was here for my first treatment. I was scared. This is a very stressful time for me and my family. Julie makes it worry-free. She stayed with me for most of my treatment. She sat and held my hands. She explained to me all the information I needed to know. She is very thorough and systematic. She alleviates any questions and concerns I have. She is very smart. She shared stories of her family and others to take my mind off this situation. She is very calm, and her smile is very contagious. At my next treatment, while I was waiting in the waiting area, I shared with other patients my time with Julie and they said the same thing, she made their treatment visit worry-free!"
