She stayed on her shift longer than necessary just to help me check out because she said she would.
We have had Mary as our nurse to help take care of each of our kids. After all five of them, it has always been an amazing experience. She is the one nurse with whom I can feel 100% confident. She understands my baby’s needs perfectly, as well as my own. She loves her job and truly cares for her patients as individuals. Mary, thank you for helping our family; it meant the world to me to have you with each of our kids.

Mary was considerate of my questions and explained everything in an easy-to-understand way. She treated me as a friend rather than just a patient. She went above and beyond to make me feel valued, and I really appreciate it. She stayed on her shift longer than necessary just to help me check out because she said she would. I'm sure she had much better things to do at home, but she stayed longer to assist me. She gladly obliged my requests when others weren’t as willing.

Mary took the time to get to know me personally. She was always on top of my medications and anything else I needed. She was outstanding in helping me care for my baby, ensuring that I felt safe and confident in my ability to do so. She offered assistance in all areas, including pain management, breastfeeding, personal care, and caring for the baby. I was sad when she went off shift. I knew I could ask her anything at any time, and she would do all she could to help. I loved her.

Great nurse! Very respectful bedside manner. Mary ensured I could move about comfortably until my legs were no longer numb. Once I was mobile, she did a fantastic job of allowing me to handle things with my baby while still being there for support and checking in as needed.

Mary has been amazing in helping us adjust to life with a newborn. She excels at what she does, and it's clear that she works hard to do her best in everything.
