While going to the doctor can be stressful, I am fortunate to have the Baptist Heart Specialist - Nassau with Dr. Michael [last name] and Desiree Howley, PA and the entire healthcare team. From the moment of arrival and being greeted with professionalism and a smile to being called back by Wendy to get vital signs, I am treated cordially with respect and dignity. The team listens to my concerns, clearly communicates a medial plan for me and follows up to assure I have continuity of care at every level. I feel as if I am part of the team towards improving my health. I never feel rushed and before I leave, they assure me with another smile and ask me if there is anything else they can do for me before leaving. To the point, I always feel as if I am the only patient they have at the moment and that gives me reassurance that my health is not only in their trusting hands, but that they honor that sacred trust that aligns with the Hippocratic oath of "First, do no harm." Thank you Baptist Health Heart Specialist - Nassau for all you do and please know the hard work and dedication you do everyday, truly makes a difference in the lives of many Nassau community residents and I am a testament to your efforts.
