Jordan has been a joy to work with and know. His first-hand knowledge of diabetes has been a god-send to my recently diagnosed daughter. During her clinical drug trial, he gave us all the information we needed, was incredibly patient, and has been responsive to all communications.
Of special note are 2 things:
1. Even though he did not have to do so, Jordan took the time to help my daughter "install" her first Dexcom Continuous Glucose Monitor. He showed her videos, talked her through it, and explained how he had been doing so for years. Taking the time out of his crazy research schedule to help her out was really exceptional.
2. Last Friday we had to return to the adult CRC for bloodwork. True to form, Jordan was wonderful. We had to come back to the CRC because of something forgotten, and when he entered the room, my daughter ambushed him with a snowball! He laughed so hard and said, "That was awesome!" What an incredible way to make a teenager feel special.
