Join Us in Thanking Our Team

"Hello, I am writing to formally recognize the extraordinary service of Patricia Taddeo. My mother, Elena Aguirre, was scheduled for surgery in January, but we were caught in an exhausting cycle of insurance delays between Horizon and Turning Point. Between member ID changes and authorizations being "cancelled" without explanation, the process was a nightmare. My mother was in significant pain, and the surgery had to be postponed twice. During this incredibly stressful time, Patricia was our lifeline. She didn't just check in; she called our family every single morning and every afternoon. She never let a Friday pass without giving us a final update before the weekend. Her persistence was the only thing that kept us going when it felt like the insurance system had failed us. When the authorization finally went through, Patricia called us before she even notified the surgical team because she wanted to be the one to give us that peace of mind. She dedicated herself to my mother's case when it felt like no one else cared. Our family is forever grateful for Patricia’s tireless dedication. She deserves the highest recognition for her compassion and work ethic. Sincerely, The Aguirre Family "

"I am a physician who contacted Sandra Gurshomava in the Radiation Oncology department to help me with records for a patient that moved to NC. Sandra was amazing from our first contact. She was personable and efficient in sending the records securely so that we could complete treatment planning. I appreciate her help and she is undoubtedly an amazing teammate. Cheers from North Carolina!"

"Carolyn M, Jhane, and the entire MSK staff in NYC: I cannot thank this team enough for their time and support this week. I had my first ever surgery (and it happened to be a major one) on Monday. The nurses and staff made my experience the best I could have imagined. They really, truly care about every patient. They are positive, happy, supportive, and all around beautiful souls. Thank you for everything you do! "

"Regarding Meghan W from Dr Kathleen Keenan’s staff. This is to let her supervisor know how truly helpful she was while waiting mammogram results. It was more than 48 hours and had never waited that long before. I know every woman is anxious but having just developed AFib and underwent cardioversion with ablation scheduled soon my nerves were even more on edge. Meghan was nice enough not to dismiss my concerns and offered her ear by listening which did calm me. All thankfully turned out ok and I wanted to show my appreciation. It made a difference just that Meghan listened thank you "

"To the 5th floor ICU nurses (Grace, Ellen, Jill, Dong, Thomas, Nick), PCTs (Nast, Taylor), OTs (Noemi, Nicole), and PT (Diana) that took care of me after my open radical nephrectomy on 1/12: Thank you doesn't begin to cover it. For the rest of my life, I will think of and be indebted to you all. Together you made a frightening time feel manageable, compassionate, and hopeful. From physically holding me up so I could start to walk (even when I didn't want to but I really needed to) or holding my hand when I was scared my first night after the surgery, there was never a moment where I felt alone. Because of the care you provided, I am on track to live a full, cancer-free life. Thank you for everything - you are the real heroes! "

"With my deepest gratitude I would like to express my sincere and heartfelt thanks to the entire medical team for the outstanding care, professionalism, and compassion I received. I am profoundly grateful to Dr. Yukio Sonoda, MD and his exceptional surgical team, whose skill and dedication during a complex and lengthy surgery truly saved my life. I will carry this gratitude in my heart forever. My heartfelt thanks to Nicolette, RN, and Nurse Ayesha, whose attentiveness, patience, and kindness meant so much to me throughout my treatment. They always responded promptly to my messages and provided thoughtful, reassuring, and helpful guidance during difficult moments. I would also like to express my deepest appreciation to my oncologist, Dr. Seth Cohen, MD, for his exceptional professionalism, expertise, and compassionate guidance throughout my treatment. His thoughtful approach, clear communication, and dedication to my care gave me confidence, strength, and hope during one of the most challenging periods of my life. I would also like to sincerely thank Kimberly Rajmohan, NP, for her professionalism, respect, and thoughtful care. Her recommendations for managing nausea were highly effective and made a significant difference in my treatment. I am deeply thankful to the chemotherapy nurses — Miranda V., Shannon, Melissa L., Elina, Nino C., and Alicia R. — for their remarkable professionalism, kindness, and compassion. I am especially grateful to Diane Lee, NP, at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Outpatient Center for Integrative Medicine, whose exceptional expertise and thoughtful advice regarding treatment were invaluable. I would also like to extend my sincere appreciation to Yi Chan for the excellent acupuncture treatments, which were incredibly helpful during my recovery and overall well-being. I truly appreciate the opportunity to receive my care at this hospital and to be supported by such an extraordinary and dedicated team.
