Michael was such an outstanding nurse. He explained everything and took great care of our son and us. We've never had a nurse like him. He is the best.

We can't thank Michael enough for the exceptional care he gave to our mom while she was in the neuro ICU. He kept us updated on her condition every step of the way. He took the time to explain things and always offered additional information. Many hands played a role in saving our mom's life and Michael played a huge part. He treated our mom with respect, compassion, and dignity. He is a huge asset to your organization. In addition to taking care of our mom, he knew we were in for a long night and provided us with all the information we needed for places to eat, sleep, and park. When Mom was transferred down the hall, he even stepped in to say goodbye. Thank you Michael for all you do!

Michael was 100% committed to making sure my mom was as comfortable as she could possibly be. He explained what was happening in terms we could understand. He praised the doctor's skills and made us all confident that she was in great hands. He provided us with information on hotels, restaurants, and shuttle service and made us feel comfortable enough to leave and rest while her procedure was happening.

Michael is by far one of the best nurses that I have dealt with or witnessed. He went above and beyond when it came to my father and taking care of him. He has amazing bedside manner. He went into very detailed explanations when it came down to telling me and my family what was going on. He knows how to take care of his patients and makes everyone feel comfortable. He is humorous and also very professional. He is one of the best, that's for sure.

Michael gave outstanding care to my father and made sure that my family and I were taken care of as well. He took the time to explain everything in great detail so that we could understand it. He always made us feel comfortable by having such an outgoing personality. He even joked around with us in an appropriate manner, which helped lighten the mood! All the nurses were wonderful!

Michael took the extra time to explain everything that was being done to my husband. His bedside manner is phenomenal. He has a big personality and makes you feel that you have his full attention.
