Mehmet's behavior with his patients shows how seriously he takes his job to make sure everything is going well. I appreciate him for being so professional and a great nurse.
During the time that I was hospitalized, they showed kindness and compassion, and they were ready to help when I needed it. Their knowledge of their duties is excellent. Thank you so much.

Mr. Mehmet is a very professional, knowledgeable, attentive, and caring nurse. He makes patients and their families feel like they matter; he sees and hears them. This trait carries over with all of his patients. He is extremely hands-on in taking care of his patients. He is so much more than a pill pusher. He ensures the patients are clean, fed, and comfortable. He makes the visitors feel welcome and comfortable. I would give him ten stars if I had to rate Mr. Mehmet and his performances for a job well done.

He is an amazing professional nurse. He cares about his patients and treats them with kindness. Since I was at the hospital, I had all these abdominal pains, but he was always there to do his job to make sure that if his patients needed anything or how are their situations, his behavior with his patients shows how seriously he takes his job to make sure everything is going well. I appreciate him for being so professional and a great nurse. No matter the time, whenever I needed him for something, he was always there to help me. During the time that I was in the hospital, I remember that time I was depressed and upset about my situation and needed some answer from my doctor. He made sure to speak with my doctor and pass my message to him.

My care by Mehmet was fantastic!  He was helping. He made my stay great. I’m trying to write, but it is hard, thanks.

I was lucky enough to have Mehmet as my nurse for two shifts out of my 60+ hour stay at Inova. He went above and beyond to not only provide wonderful medical care, but to make sure I was comfortable as well. He provided ice packs when my antibiotic injections were burning, arrived with water in hand for each check-in to my room, and even escorted me outside of the hospital for a walk with my husband to catch some fresh air. This level of care was beneficial for not only my physical well-being but my mental well-being as well. No one ever feels lucky coming into the hospital, but anyone would be lucky to be cared for my Mehmet.

He is helpful and professional in his approach to his nursing duties. He has a great sense of humor and a sunny attitude, even in the most tense situations. He responds quickly and knowledgeably to all patients’ questions and concerns.

***

He is very helpful and caring and knows what he’s doing. I wish that during every hospital stay, we have a nurse like Mehmet. Thanks so much again, Mehmet!

Mehmet was very clear and informative as to what he was doing during vitals etc. checks—and also for discharge details/transport to rehab facility. He checked all the details and shared the information in detail. It is so important to have clear and detailed information.

***

Mehmet was very kind throughout my entire stay. He was very caring and genuinely wanted me to get better. I have been to many hospitals, and no one treated me as well as Mehmet did. He was always patient with all my requests and treated me like family. He takes the time to explain what is going on and what medications he is administering. He deserved recognition for all that he does.

***

Mr. Mehmet was always there to add a bit more to less explained situations. I called him my on-the-job counselor. He did his job and so much more. When he came by on rounds and not on rounds, he would always change my mood, even putting a brighter light on my circumstances.

***

Everything that Mehmet did for me was very professional. He is an experienced nurse. Important to say he has a warm, loving personality, which made me feel very comfortable. Thank you, Mehmet, for all your care.
