Christina listened and made me feel validated.
I was admitted to the hospital last fall and was there for a few days. I had a panic attack when they admitted me because of a previous bad experience in a military hospital. Christina came in and was an absolute breath of fresh air. I felt like a burden asking for anything and Christina somehow knew what I needed without me needing to ask and that really helped. Even though I knew she was busy, she took as much time as needed to calm me and help me through the emotions of being in the hospital. Christina listened and made me feel validated. She is one of the kindest, sincerest, and most knowledgeable healthcare professionals that I have encountered in my entire life. The way she serves her patients is gentle and understanding.
