4 Lutheran physicians, APPs receive kudos
Grateful patients reached out to us this month to thank us for their care and sing the praises of four Lutheran physicians and advanced practice professionals. It’s our pleasure to recognize them by reposting those notes here.
Patient-satisfaction review
“My wife broke her hip while we were on a trip to Golden. Overall, Lutheran proved to be an excellent location for assessment, surgery with Dr. Darryl Auston and team, post-op recovery and beginning OT and PT work. I have bragged to others here in Indiana that Lutheran is an example of customer/patient focused care at every encounter. Hard to believe, but I even praised the food services! Everyone we encountered was friendly, professional, great.”
Email from Lutheran physician who was a patient
“I had a phenomenal experience recently with Lutheran when I had to have urgent surgery and wanted to highlight the providers involved for Dr. Kudos if possible!
Dr. Cliff Daniels was phenomenally patient, described my anesthesia plan in detail, kept me safe throughout surgery, and went out of his way to provide a safe, compassionate, reassuring experience.
Dr. Doug Hardesty went out of his way to answer the many, many questions I had about surgery, checked on me personally in PACU and post op day one, and made me feel greatly reassured about a major operation that I was hoping to initially avoid. He provided excellent care throughout my experience and went into extensive details for myself and my husband during preop consultation and post op follow up.
Luke Williams, PA, initially saw me in clinic and has been a bedrock of support, helping me decide on a surgical option when it felt right, as well as regularly being available to help answer questions and assist with surgery coordination and advice.
I feel extraordinarily fortunate to have had such a fantastic team of physicians and APPs, as well as all of the wonderful and extraordinary staff in preop, OR and PACU who helped care for me.”
