Kristina was nominated by a patient who was recovering from a bariatric procedure called a Roux-en-Y. Patients are unable to take many of their traditional medications for about a week post-operatively. This patient is bipolar, so this was particularly difficulty for her. What she says about Kristina's care is heartwarming..." Honestly, it was Kristina's kindness that kept me from doing something I may have regretted. She sat down with me and discussed the pros and cons of the surgery I had recently undergone. Krsitina used my list to formulate a strong argument as to why she believed I had made the right choice for myself. On top of her emotional counseling, she was the stronghold that allowed me to believe I'm not in this alone. She knew just how to take my mind off of my difficult situation and I will be forever grateful!!!"
