    Not to sound too trendy, but in this appointment I felt very heard, very validated. I thought that the provider was warm, had a great sense of humor, and really answered all of my questions and concerns. Thank you.

    I have the best experience with my care team. They listen to me and don't treat me like a number. I understand doctors nurses all have to see other patients. Sometimes they run over their time that they are to spend with you to me that is a good doctor or nurse That just tells me that they care the ones that have to look at their clock and hurry up and get out of there to the next patient that's not right

    Everyone in Palliative care is great. From check-in to check-out. I know that if I have any questions or concerns I know where to ask and how to get ahold of someone if needed. There's a lot of information to take in. Kelly has a way of putting it in a way I can understand. From, what we're doing and why we're doing it. To, what are our next step(s) and most importantly, do I understand and agree with given plans. I am very happy with my care plan. I appreciate everything; everyone does for me. Thank you!
