To the Editor:



I would like thank Holly, Core Physicians (Dr. Swett's nurse), and Danessa, Core Physicians (Dr. Wharton's nurse) for restoring my faith in humanity Thursday, April 19.



My father (James Tuska, age 84) is a patient at their Exeter offices, while I live in Pennsylvania. He was scheduled for hernia surgery on April 20, and I got a phone call the morning of April 19 that the surgery had been cancelled due to a bureaucratic snafu. My dad's assisted living nurse reported that he was extremely upset, a fact that did not surprise me. I didn't really think I could get the surgery re-scheduled, but after calling first Holly, then Danessa, and enlisting their help, I began to be somewhat hopeful.



These two women went above and beyond for me, a stranger, and we were able (after many phone calls) to make the necessary arrangements for the surgery to occur the following day, only slightly off the original schedule. I was able to travel as planned to be with my dad, and he is doing very well, this soon after the surgery.



I would like to thank doctors Swett and Wharton for their caring and understanding treatment of my father, as well as their wonderful nurses for helping me to get his surgery back on track. In this day when many patients are little more than numbers to their doctors, it is comforting to know that my dad is cared for by such compassionate doctors.



I would also like to thank the wonderful staff at The Ridge at RiverWoods, especially Assisted Living and Skilled Nursing, for their exceptional care of my parents. Thank you does not begin to express my appreciation, and no words will ever adequately convey my heartfelt gratitude.
