I cannot say enough about this Gem of a hospital and their awesome staff. I brought my daughter to the ED on Tues, she received awesome treatment from the staff and especially Dr. DoSantos and Irene Vieta, RN. Irene was a fierce advocate, a friendly, kind and knowledgeable nurse who treated my daughter with respect, dignity and kindness. Dr. DoSantos actually ROUNDED on each of his patients every 20 or so minutes. My dtr was then discharged home with oral antibiotics which unfortunately did not work and we had to return to the ED the next day. Unbeknownst to us she was becoming progressively worse and was admitted to the hospital. Dr. Ryan B. took over and has been a wonderful, kind, caring doctor for my daughter. (During her first night in ICU she was having respiratory issues and was panicking and he actually SAT with her in her room until she was calm (thought this only happened on Grey's Anatomy!) She was admitted to the 3rd floor where she was cared for by an angel named Alexa who works the 7P-7A shift. Her kind, caring warmth and compassion to my daughter during probably the worst night of our life cannot be emphasized enough. She is truly a nurse my daughter will never forget! Not a second passed if my daughter needed her that she was at the bedside. The morning shift brought us Karen who was like a second mother to my daughter. She informed us of every test, procedure, medication and was a constant presence at my daughter's bedside. As my daughter's condition deteriorated she was transferred to ICU where she once again was cared for by a wonderful staff of nurses including, Angela, Marisa, Naomi, Zenny and PCA Jessica, Melissa and forgive me if I didn't remember everyone's name it's been a worldwind! Dr. Awad is our savior! Respiratory therapists have been incredible, kind and informative! And I could never ever leave out the patient reps Dee and Mark! Every single day they checked on my daughter and our family and continue to do so! They have been a source of comfort, information, a shoulder to lean on and the hospital should be proud to have such wonderful ambassadors! We are still here as I write this review and I have no doubt I will have many more people to acknowledge because I have not met one person who has not been just the absolute best!
