“I believe that the best experience comes from the patient, so when we listen to him and engage in their plan of care, we pick up on the little details that is why the first visit is so critical. At St Mary I wanted to create a different kind of experience. One where you are heard and your goals are met. I place a very high emphasis on communication and continued education. Not only for the staff, but for the patient as well.”
