Mary Ann Tubao is a true giver, with a kind heart, very compassionate, intelligent. She had exceeded all my expectations, went above and beyond her job. I could not forget how Mary Ann showed her true kindness and compassion when I experienced a very bad pain. That day I left my room early for a test, but when I came back, I have a very bad pain that came from nowhere.

Mary Ann was there, she never left my side. I could see it in her eyes that she was worried and was very concerned, yet she was so calm trying to comfort me. Meanwhile, she was also calling the doctor. I was given pain medicine - it gave me no relief. Mary Ann was alongside with the doctor and I could hear her telling the doctor to do imaging. Sure enough, the doctor listened to her and I went in for another scan and found out I had a kidney stone.

Mary Ann was so dedicated to her job, constantly checking on me and straining all my urine. That afternoon, Mary Ann said I passed the stone and she showed it to me. I was so happy. She was so happy too. I could sense that she was so determined to get me well.
