Stephanie clearly explained why this approach was necessary and even drew a diagram to illustrate the potential size of the incision, ensuring I fully understood.
As someone who experiences medical anxiety, I greatly appreciated Stephanie's extra time and care.
Commitment to compassionate and quality care:
I have been a patient of Stephanie's for several years, consistently receiving exceptional care.  I realized that I have never formally recognized her outstanding dedication at her workplace, which prompted this nomination. Stephanie exemplifies excellence by thoroughly explaining each medical procedure, allowing ample time to ask questions, and assisting with scheduling my upcoming appointments. Her attentive approach sets her apart.

Dedicated to extraordinary care:
This month, I noticed an unusual growth on my face that I wanted removed. Stephanie immediately sought the advice of a nurse practitioner (NP) from another part of the office to verify the next steps. While the NP could handle some aspects, I needed to schedule an appointment with a doctor for the removal. Stephanie clearly explained why this approach was necessary and even drew a diagram to illustrate the potential size of the incision, ensuring I fully understood.
As someone who experiences medical anxiety, I greatly appreciated Stephanie's extra time and care. She not only assisted with scheduling my appointment with the NP, but also personally escorted me to book the appointment with the doctor, on the other side of the clinic. Knowing my concerns, she wanted me to see the other side of the office to help alleviate my anxiety. Her dedication to patient care and her thoughtful, compassionate approach truly make her deserving of this nomination.

Quality of Life:
While it might seem minor compared to other medical concerns, this issue significantly impacts my professional life. As a presenter and trainer who travels nationally and internationally, maintaining my appearance is crucial. Stephanie understands this and has been instrumental in helping me look my best. Aware of my self-consciousness about the growth, she addressed my concerns with sensitivity and professionalism, making a meaningful difference in my quality of life.

Respect: 
Stephanie consistently ensures my privacy during appointments, creating a comfortable and secure environment. She takes the time to ask about my work, travels, and family, making me feel truly seen, valued, and heard as a patient. Her interest and respect for my personal and professional life exemplify the high standard of care at your clinic.  It is my hope that Stephanie will be recognized and will receive this prestigious award at your organization.
