recognition she receives . Many others I know share my sentiment about her exceptional care . Dr . Kiser is a true gem in our medical community . While I ' ll undoubtedly miss her when she retires , I ' m grateful to have had such an outstanding physician looking after me all these years .
AMANDA CRAWFORD , MD & RENOWN ER TEAM : During two recent weekends , I found myself in the Emergency Room . Despite the busy atmosphere , I received attentive care and was promptly triaged . Though there were inevitable wait times , the staff ensured I wasn ' t overlooked . In the ER , doctors , nurses and staff kept my family and me informed , demonstrating a keen understanding of my needs despite their hectic schedules . Upon reaching my room , everyone was compassionate and explained procedures clearly , which was especially reassuring given my age and lack of heart or lung issues . The Hospitalists were informative and communicated in understandable terms . Dr . Crawford stood out for her exceptional care and genuine concern . Every single person I encountered during my two stays was great with the patients and their families . This includes housekeepers , pharmacy , doctor , nurses , transport , dietary , nursing students and any employee walking by . I may have overlooked someone , but I just want to let you know how well I was treated and to shine a light on some very nice people .
