My daughter was involved in a three-car accident on September 12th and was brought to CMMC for emergency care. ... She was in pain, swollen and bruised but thankfully she suffered nothing more serious. She was admitted overnight for observation on M2. We were grateful to have Kaveh Khansari, a knowledgeable patient advocate, on our side. We trusted his judgement completely and were very grateful for his direction.

Kaveh spent considerable time caring for her. He painstakingly washed and cleaned glass and dirt from not only her body but also suctioned her full, thick head of long hair for glass and debris. All the while taking great care in making her feel comfortable. It wasn't until the change of shift at 7:15 a.m. that we were aware that Kaveh had other patients he was responsible for on the unit. He made my daughter and our family feel like we were the only patients he had to care for.

I am a seasoned and experienced nurse at CMMC. Kaveh showed me and taught me things that I will bring to my own practice to help my patients experience the best possible care that I can give them. I am honored and blessed to have had been given this lesson of example by this strong and compassionate caregiver.

...

We are very fortunate to have the level of nursing expertise that Kaveh, and many other nurses at CMMC, have to offer to our patients and their families. The compassion and dedication of our nurses is very evident in all they do each day, especially during those times when we as health care professionals or our families have to be treated as patients. Having worked at CMMC for just a year, Kaveh's passion and holistic approach to patient care have already been an example for all that have worked with him during his first year. We have so much to look forward to from Kaveh in his years to come.
