Maria Gonzalez has an effervescent smile that puts our young patients and their parents at ease. She consistently goes above and beyond to provide outstanding care and compassion to our patients. She brightens our department and is an exemplary team player.
Clinical Skills - nurses are expected to pend vaccines for us. Maria knows the pediatric immunization schedule well and routinely accurately pends the orders. She is proactive in checking vision and hearing if the chief complaint warrants it, rechecking blood pressures when indicated, and accommodating patient's schedule requests for our ADHD patients.
Compassionate Care - our patients are greeted warmly by her. I'm proud to have her represent our pediatric team.
Be a Positive Influence on their peers and co-workers - Maria's positive attitude inspires a similar outlook from the rest of the staff.
Leadership - Maria leads by example.
Service - My exam rooms are always well stocked, and our pediatric area is well-decorated thanks to her creative touches. Maria takes the time to give flu vaccines to siblings who accompany the patient.
Commitment to Excellence - Maria encourages all of our patients to get vaccinated without scaring or overwhelming them. Our direct booking numbers at Diamond Bar pediatrics have been 100% for the past month thanks to Maria's and the other pediatric nurses' efforts.
