He is a very nice man. He tells you like it is. And I appreciate him and like him. Thank you.
I was very impressed that the doctor was so friendly, had such a warm bedside manner, was so cheerful, and that he was really willing to listen to my concerns, and I felt cared for, I felt listened to. I didn't feel like he was condescending or like he knew better than me in any way. particularly as it relates to my pain levels and how that affects my quality of life. I was very happy with the doctor and the nurse, and I would highly recommend them.
He was very good and very informative.
I think the doctor is very good and he can talk with you and explain everything to you and the nurses are very good. I would have everybody come to the hospital because they care about you. Thank you very much.
Thank you so much for caring, for even asking. The provider that you were talking about is very respectable, understandable, and show a lot of care. That's why I love Hackensack Meridian Health. They care for their people.
