Sabrina was very professional at her job. She put a feeding tube in me, which, in my mind, I was not going to take because of all the nightmare stories I have heard about the procedure. But after talking to her and having her explain everything that would go on, she calmed me down so much that I said, "let's do it". Sabrina had all the equipment before putting it in me. She explained what I would be going through. I agreed and she started it in me and we got to a point where she said it might be uncomfortable, but she informed me to keep swallowing. Before long she said that's it. We had no problems at all. Very professional. I followed her directions and everything went smoothly. Then I went down for X-rays to make sure it went into my stomach and not my lungs. Everything worked out fine. I cannot say enough about this individual. I am not saying that the rest of the staff was not good, I'm just saying that she was a standout individual. And if I ever have to come back here, which I hope I don't, I would sure like her on my team!
