• Tangy the phlebotomist went out of her way to first do her job , and then to make sure . I was okay . I really appreciated my interaction with her .
• We saw several respiratory therapists . Mich , Alexis , John , and Melissa all deserve honorable mention . Hunter was especially skilled and competent . I felt confident whenever he was on duty .
• We were so fortunate to enter the rotations of Dr . Maier and Dr . Graham . They took my father ’ s medical condition and our feelings very seriously . I felt like we were definitely receiving the best care and their full time , attention , and energy . I really cannot say enough about Dr . Graham .
• Dr . Sathe was very present in the CICU . He was approachable , knowledgeable , interested and caring . I really appreciated him as well .
Aside from a more positive outcome for us , the only thing that could have been improved upon is continuity of care . It was very comforting for me personally to see the same nurse or CNA several shifts . I noticed too that my father responded better to familiar faces and styles . He said I always feel better when she ( Carson ) is here .
In conclusion , I was impressed and grateful for the compassionate care we received at Renown . Very few treated him as if he were just some old man . Several went above and beyond . I wanted to recognize those who did more than was necessary . Lastly , in our case , continuity of care would have been beneficial .
Kind Regards , Elizabeth Medlyn
