One of his patients writes, "Michael has been the most wonderful nurse to my mother-in-law as well as to our family. My mother-in-law had surgery for a heart valve replacement and at the end of the surgery she developed a blood clot. She was in critical condition for days. During this time, Michael was very informative, answering all our questions. He is very intelligent and very compassionate. He was a great help and comfort to us as a family. I am so glad he was our nurse."

Another family nominated Michael stating, "Michael is outstanding. My family was comforted by him and they felt secure when he was her nurse. He was committed to making her and the family feel at ease. His excellent clinical skills gave my loved one the care she needed and he was on top of her medical situation."
