My mother had reconstructive bowel surgery, which was something completely new to us. My mother is 81 years old, and I am almost 60 and fully handicapped myself, so I’m not able to be here as much as I would like to. With Anson as one of her nurses, I felt safe to go home when I needed to, knowing she was safe.

Anson was always kind and compassionate, never rushed her, and always answered her questions. When a person is in a hospital for something serious, and you can’t be there with them all the time, it is extremely nerve-wracking, but with the care that she received, especially with Anson, it made it much easier on me and my daughter to be able to go home knowing she was being cared for properly.

Not only is he professional, but his compassion is something that cannot be taught and something not everyone has. My mother couldn’t sing his praises enough. Being a retired CNA myself, I know how difficult the job can be, and he never treated her with anything but kindness.

Anson was courteous, always happy, and you could tell he enjoyed helping his patients. He was very clear in informing us of every medication, was attentive to our needs, and paid attention to detail, which was a huge plus. Anson did everything to make his patient comfortable. I came in to stay overnight due to feeling nauseous from knee surgery. No matter how much pain I was in, Anson always worked with me to help find a solution to help me feel more comfortable. He was very calm, caring, and relaxed when working with both the family and patient.
