11 physicians, APPs receive Dr. Kudos
Every month, patients and their loved ones contact us about the care and compassion they receive at Good Samaritan, sometimes during moments when they are keenly frightened, confused or sad. Your ability to enter their story and meet their needs can be life-changing. We are moved by their gratitude and are proud to post their comments here. Thank you for your care.

My husband was admitted today at Good Samaritan Hospital. We are from out of state visiting our son and daughter-in-law for the birth of our grandson. Unfortunately, my husband was up all night in pain. Our son recommended we go to Good Sam for our care. We were obviously stressed going to the Emergency Room in a different state, not knowing what was wrong with my husband. Dr. David Jackson has a bedside manner I have ever encountered. He pulled up a chair (amazing!) and took his time, explaining what was found and what the plan will be. Dr. Jackson is compassionate, kind and professional. He helped to put us at ease during an uncertain time. Thank you, Dr. Jackson!

My mother was a patient for several days until she ultimately passed away. I wanted to reach out and make sure all the staff who took care of her knows how much the family appreciated the care she received. It was top notch and the doctors and all who cared for her were super nice and caring: Dr. Jacob Wayman, Dr. Brian Nordtrom Lane, Kelly Kehoe, NP, Dr. Emily Russell Levy, James Vandermeulen, NP, Dr. Daniel Zank, and Dr. Christian Setzer. On behalf of our family they should be thanked and recognized for superior care.
Email from a colleague
I just wanted to take a minute and send a shout out to Dr. Vishnupriya Khatri and Manny Nti, NP. I have had multiple staff members give me really good feedback that these providers are so kind, engaged, approachable and collaborative with the staff. My team has really appreciated the cross coverage and feels extra supported.

Everyone from housekeeping, room service, pulmonary, nurse's aides and doctors were the best. As I said, all were great but above and beyond, Gali Loya, RN, and Dr. Fred Crawford were so good to me. They are very professional and very human. Couldn't ask for a better nurse than Gali.
