I’m 59 and raising my grandson, 13. I’m having struggling issues, but he didn’t judge me or treat me any differently. Rico has been very helpful with anything that I have asked him. Regarding my care, Rico has not skipped a beat. He has been very thorough in every process related to my care; he takes the time to explain everything to me until I’m comfortable. Rico is very pleasant and shows no signs of stress whatsoever. That is very comforting. I appreciate Rico more than anyone will ever know. He lets me talk and actually listens; he has a heart, and you can see it. I really wish every nurse was like Rico. He has compassion and sympathy and stays fully focused on his responsibilities. Rico is a terrific nurse.

Thank you, Rico, for your exceptional compassion, advocacy, and dedication to your patients. You truly make a difference.
