My mother recently passed away and he had the staff ask what I needed from their office, if anything, via the portal. He treated me for a chronic sinus condition in the midst of her death when health meant everything to me. He offered to pray for me and my family. The Sisters of Mercy would be beyond proud! He is a great representative of what Mercy One stands for! He has been our family physician for decades, we think he is the BEST!!!
