I had to come in to have a really sad procedure done. I was 19 weeks pregnant and the fetus didn't make it. Anna was so kind, sensitive, caring, smart, and just overall amazing. I am so appreciative that I had Anna as my nurse for the first half of my process. She made a very difficult process much easier. I really could not have done it without her. Thank you, Anna, for your compassion and help. It made all the difference.

My wife had a very difficult situation to deal with. Anna quickly found a way to connect to her and make her feel calm in a time when nerves ran high. She also showed compassion and helped her not only feel at ease but also was very knowledgeable and informative along the way. Thank you for everything. Anna was spectacular.

My daughter was pregnant with her first child. She found out that the baby had multiple anomalies. The fetus was abnormal, and it would be lethal for my daughter to carry to term. It was emotional and heartbreaking. I cannot begin to tell you how amazing Anna was to my daughter. Her compassion, kindness, and understanding of my daughter's needs were outstanding. She knows how to listen and since this was a very difficult situation and delivery, she showed strength and love to my daughter. No one should ever be in this position to have to deliver their first child, first pregnancy, and have it sent to pathology and then buried. Right away she clicked with my daughter and soothed her worries away. I have never met any nurse like her. Anna is one in a million. Her smile is contagious, and her kind disposition is enhanced by her warm actions. She is special, sweet, loving, compassionate, kind, patient, wonderful, gentle, humane, sympathetic, thoughtful, understanding, and by far the best nurse at this center. She is beautiful inside and out. Anna was exceptional.

My sister had to deliver a miscarriage and given the difficult situation, Anna was amazing and made my sister feel as comfortable as possible. Anna was so caring and compassionate. She listened to everything my sister needed and was quick to respond every time she was needed. She made an extremely difficult time more tolerable and less painful. She made my sister and my family that was present during this time feel more at ease. She communicated well and was very clear in explaining what was happening. This was truly a blessing to have Anna as my sister's nurse. Hopefully, my sister has Anna again next time she is here (under better circumstances).
