Honor Your Caregiver

St. Rose Dominican, Siena campus Surgical Team

Surgical Observation Unit
Dignity Health - St. Rose Dominican, Siena campus

I would like to acknowledge my entire surgical team. As an employee (21 years) of St. Rose Siena campus (surgery dept), I had a lot of reservations about my upcoming surgery. My providers Dr. Carla Turner, Dr. Nancy Aranda, and Dr. Ashlee Justice agreed to schedule my surgery on a Saturday to offer me peace and privacy. My surgical team Therese (RN), Ruby (FA), and Briana (CST), made me feel so comfortable, and took such great care of me. I received the best possible care, and I am forever grateful to them all. This is the definition of humankindness.

Jenn was my first night nurse after my surgery, and what stood out was her calm demeanor no matter what. My other nurses were wonderful too, but I couldn’t help noticing that particular difference. She never appeared rushed, and because of that, I was calm. I always felt their need to move quickly, but never with Jenn. I so appreciated her calmness. It made me feel safe.

Dr. Skinner is not only an amazing physician but a great human! You can tell that he truly cares for others in the way he treats his patients but also his fellow doctors and nurses around him. I am so blessed to have his assistance in delivering 2 of my babies! Thank you Dr. Skinner for being you and for helping me and so many other women become new moms!

During my recent hospitalization, I had the privilege of being under the care of Dr. Ndukwu, who had also assisted me during a prior visit. From the very beginning, he greeted me with a warm smile and a compassionate attitude. It was clear he was well-prepared and understood the situation I was facing. He explained everything in clear, understandable terms and walked me through the next steps. He made sure I understood and took the time to ask if I had any questions. I did have a few, and he answered each one thoroughly and knowledgeably, which gave me great peace of mind.

Janice, MD along with all the nurses and staff gave ample care of the time I was at the hospital. I appreciate them all although I don't recall everyone's names. I felt the dignity in protecting my privacy within the emergency department from the moment I arrived, until I left just a few short hours later. Thank you for your prompt kind care.

Nurse Bonnie was the first person I met in the room where I was dressed and cared for prior to going into surgery. Her reassurance of what was coming made me calm down and relieved my stress immensely. Her kind, caring manner made all the difference.
