I nominate Cece for the DAISY Award for her exceptional care, compassion, and unwavering support during one of the most difficult times of my life. From the moment I walked into my plastic surgeon's office following my cancer diagnosis, Cece has been a consistent source of comfort and positivity. Her warm smile, calming presence, and genuine kindness instantly made me feel safe and supported in a time when everything else felt uncertain.

Throughout my treatment, Cece has gone above and beyond in every interaction. Whether she was answering my questions with patience and clarity, offering words of encouragement, or simply taking a few extra minutes to check in on how I was feeling emotionally, she made me feel like more than just a patient; she made me feel like I mattered. Her compassion is evident in everything she does, and she brings a level of humanity and grace to her work that is truly rare. Cece has been a beacon of joy during this challenging journey. She has an incredible ability to make people feel seen and cared for, and her positive energy has been a guiding light through the darkest days. I am so grateful for the impact she has had on my experience and healing process. Cece exemplifies everything the DAISY Award represents.

Cece genuinely cares for each of her patients, investing in them as a person, not just a patient on the schedule. She takes the time to get to know you and to help answer all of your questions or concerns, no matter how insignificant you think they might be. She helped me tremendously when I was going through an elective procedure to get out in front of my health, and I needed to make big decisions. She listened to all of my concerns and never once made me feel like I was making the wrong choice or going to extremes. She actually praised me for being so brave and making the choice to be around for my family and my kids. I've been able to meet with Cece each week post-operatively, and she has made each session something to look forward to, never once making me feel uncomfortable or that my body was something to be ashamed of. Every time I left the appointment, I felt more confident and radiant in who I was as a woman. She is an absolute joy and treasure to Plastics!
