Description of Your Positive Experience or the Kudos You Want to Send

 
I have received excellent care from Dr. Ali. He correctly diagnosed rheumatoid arthritis after a rheumatologist missed it. His patients have the rare benefit of being in partnership with him in their care. He is always willing to explain, answer questions and to listen to my ideas. Having a doctor who enjoys caring for his patients and takes the time to understand them makes a huge difference.  J.C.
In today's world, it is difficult at best to find a physician to take the time to listen and to really hear you instead of focusing on 300 other things during their visit with you. Dr. Forte never rushes me, is genuinely concerned for me, makes me feel like I am a family member of hers! I can not recommend her enough! She is the best of the best!
Dr Luss has taken a 64 yr old male - my life and my love - and introduced him to his 1st medical issue and literally carried us both through it. His referrals were excellent, his availability and genuine concern have transformed my husbands fear of medicine into a place to turn in times of need. Kudos to you-"Luss"  Keep up the great work. 
After the death of Dr. Edna Makabenta, my beloved physician of 7 years, I found Dr. Justo Sataray by complete accident on a drive home from work. I had been weary about finding a new physician that would understand my needs and lifestyle and put those into perspective while treating me as a regular person, rather than just another patient walking through the door. I walked into Dr. Sataray's office and inquired about an appointment and the receptionist asked "Is now a good time to see the Doctor?" I said "sure" and was taken to an exam room and given all the pre-doctor visit routines such as blood pressure, temperature, and simple questions about allergies that are usually collected. Everyone in the office had been so pleasant and friendly up to this point. I must have asked the assistants one-hundred questions about Dr. Sataray, trying to get some kind of idea of how I was going to be treated by an unfamiliar doctor. They all tried to put my personal fears to rest about Dr. Sataray (because I do not like new doctors) and claimed he was a great doctor that cared about his patients. As soon as the exam room door opened again, Dr. Sataray walked in, put my file record down after looking over it, addressed me by my first name, and asked, "How are you? What brings you in today?" He genuinely cared to hear my answer! We sat talking for about 20 minutes about my medical history and even some small talk about my lifestyle, activeness, and how a treatment plan needs to fit into my life. After that first impression, I knew that I could let my guard down about finding a physician that cared about me. It was as if I had found another needle in a haystack, that one-in-a-million physician that you immediately feel comfortable with. I only suffer from high-blood pressure, asthma, and migraines, but he made those a huge priority in treating, a sense of urgency, as if he was treating his own family member! I've now been a patient of Dr. Sataray for about a year and a half, and know I can rely on him and his wonderful office staff.  J.G.
My son who is now 9 was diagnosed with hemorrhage in his brain a year ago. We were very lucky: the problem is gone. There will be our last appointment with Dr. [Donald] Johns the next week. What I mean (with my not perfect English) is that I have nothing to win to compliment this Doctor. I just want him to feel what I feel: Love and Joy. He was so professional and outgoing, this man of honor and dedication. He is the Real Doctor, one you can trust with your kids. I met him in the hospital and in his small office. He doesnt make big money caring for our little ones who are in trouble, but he follows his soul to help and to care, with kindness and attention that you need so much. No one explained me in easy words what happened to my son! Dr. Johns did. It helped us to manage the problem. Now my son is like others, healthy and happy, an A student of his 4th grade.... Because I think about you now, Doctor, and I see your eyes and smile when I remember you, I am afraid to forget to tell you and the world how much we like you! Be happy, Doc. Thank you!

We believe our father is alive and well into full recovery from cancer because of the excellent care of Dr. [Kevin] Petersen. We can't thank him and his staff enough for taking care of our father.

"Dr. [Imran] Ahmed, Oncologist LVCC, has saved my life 4 times in the last 10 years. He is highly educated and has an incredible bedside manner. A man of true caring. His medical staff is as professional as any would ever find in the medical field. They treat seriously ill people on a daily basis-always with caring and a smile. Dr. Ahmed has become a special part of my wifes' and my life. He's just a very special oncologist. Ten years is a long time to fight cancer-he has been with me every step of the way in this fight. Las Vegas is very lucky to have him.  The Nevada Medical Board should be proud to have Dr. Ahmed on their team."  L.E. & M.E.

"The efficiency of Dr. [Robert] Gong is unbelievable from his small laptop that he uses in our visit to his handing me printed prescriptions when we leave the examining room. He is so informative about my health and care-very serious plus ever so pleasant. I am 70 years old and have never had such a competent doctor as Dr. Gong. Also, his office staff is the best." L.E.

"My wife and I come from California to see PA [Robert] Gaimaro. His profesionalism, bed side maner and the time he spends with his patient is what we like best. He treats my wife, child, and my self. He is very up to date on treatment and very knowledgeable. I come to see him because in California and Las Vegas, it is dificult to find a physician who will sit with you and spend at least 15 to 20 minutes. Very thorough and I got examined from head to toe. I will recomend him to all my family." A.H.
