While I was fighting for my life, she came in and was like an angel by my side. She was compassionate, loving and patient. She never made me feel judged, even when I was at my absolute lowest and worst ever.
I really liked the service at this hospital, especially when Anna took care of me in a caring way. Anna is a caring, sensitive, and responsible professional that you can put your trust in. Thank you very much! Yesterday morning I presented to ER for the most stressful medical emergency I have experienced to date and was released this morning after an OR visit and overnight stay. In spite of my often-anxious disposition, it is remarkable and greatly appreciated how every team member kept me at ease, comfortable, and feeling confidently well informed throughout the process. My nurse, Anna Tarasyuk, in particular, worked diligently and tirelessly to ensure that I was well both physically and emotionally during a stressful visit. Both before and after the operation, I felt that Anna was especially interested in making sure that all my questions were answered and that my recovery was proceeding well as she checked in on me. In addition to being highly intelligent, knowledgeable, and competent, I felt that Anna was genuinely compassionate and caring for me as a human being, and this kindness for me was a major contributing factor in the excellent care I feel that I received, helping me to remain sanguine and with a good sense of humor through an otherwise stressful time where I would have otherwise been disposed to crippling anxiety. I am truly grateful for her care and, with great appreciation and respect, would hope that Anna can be honored and rewarded as she should for the difference I know she made for me and that I am confident she is making for all of her patients every day. I am 20 years old. I have been given a second lease on life and a second chance. I was scared to death. Anna was my nurse. While I was fighting for my life, she came in and was like an angel by my side. She was compassionate, loving and patient. She never made me feel judged, even when I was at my absolute lowest and worst ever. She smiled with her eyes, on the days I couldn’t move well this brought me warmth and peace. I’m sure she had a million patients, but she never made me feel rushed. Every time she. And in the room, it was as if she world would stop, she made me feel hope and I felt as if I was her only patient. She encouraged me and helped me hold my head high when I couldn’t do it myself. The day I left she stood with me the entire time until I drove away. I will never forget her and the love and support she demonstrated during the lowest low of my life.
