Danielle is a true example of compassion and poise. Recently I assisted Danielle with a very critically ill patient. During this time this patient was so ill that he was very confused, a little combative, and restless. Keeping him still to perform the tests and procedures that he needed so desperately was not an easy task. She remained calm, compassionate and so caring to both the patient and his mother. She recognized early that this patient was in trouble and went above and beyond to ensure that he received the medical attention and intervention that he needed. She does a phenomenal job of relating to patients and demonstrating true empathy for everyone she encounters.
