When he walked into the room, it was like the sun started shining bright.
Where do I begin with my dear Mauricio?

Mauricio is an outstanding nurse. He takes the time to actually listen and hear how you are doing. He cares so much and puts his all into helping you feel comfortable, so that you have everything you need.

When he walked into the room, it was like the sun started shining bright. And laugh, oh my goodness, does he make you laugh. Every time he left the room to go to another patient, we would be laughing hysterically, and it would be the best medicine!

If I had a bad PT or OT, and I would be down on myself, Mauricio would talk me through it, and in the end, I felt 100x better! He's a man with a huge heart and one of the best damn nurses, and I was so lucky cause I got a lot of time with him, and if it wasn't for him, I definitely would have lost it at times! Mauricio's positivity was outstanding!

Mauricio is one of a kind. When you're waiting to see who you get at shift change next, if I heard first or Mauricio walked in, right then I knew I was going to have a super day, and I had no worries at all!

Mauricio is quite an extraordinary nurse and friend! I value all the time we had and the laughs! Mauricio deserves multiple DAISY Awards!
