Dr. Kudos of the Month!

Good Samaritan often hears from patients and loved ones after discharge to make sure we know how fortunate we are to have physicians who provide expert care with deep compassion. We do know, and we’re proud to post those comments here.

A conversation with a patient rep

“The wife of a recent patient wanted me to share the following appreciation. She was especially appreciative of Dr. Howard Saft’s presence, professionalism and compassionate approach during a very challenging time. Dr. Saft demonstrated remarkable emotional intelligence and a rare ability to communicate effectively with a neurodivergent patient. Many healthcare professionals, including physicians, often struggle to engage with neurodivergent individuals in a way that is both respectful and effective. Dr. Saft, however, approached this patient with empathy, patience and a deep understanding that brought immense comfort. His ability to connect meaningfully and respectfully with someone whose needs are often misunderstood or overlooked made a lasting impression. Dr. Saft’s conduct reflects the highest standards of care and communication, and he is a true asset to Good Samaritan.”

Thank you to all medical staff members who provide both care to patients and comfort to family members.
