“Your involvement with my health was focused on providing me with your personal attention as well as health practices to facilitate my tolerance of radiation and chemotherapy and to begin my recovery. Your selfless willingness to share your knowledge with my caregivers has enabled them to continue their health practices and assist in my treatment and recovery to the best of their abilities. Furthermore, your assessment of my physical health status always matched that of my oncological nurse and my oncologist. I appreciated your careful observations and your thoroughness.

My constant praise is that Michael listens, and tailors treatments to patients that actually work! A longtime sufferer of sciatica, it was miraculous to finally be pain-free for years, and with no brain-numbing muscle-relaxants. I felt heard at every stage of my treatment, and I continue to have utter confidence in his healing ability when I call with any complaint.

In his position as an RN with Maxim Healthcare, Michael was employed in our office for many years, from 2011-2014 I had the pleasure of being his supervisor.  Michael does an excellent job in his position and is an asset to our organization.  He has excellent written and verbal communication skills, well organized, and works well independently.  He has excellent rapport with the patients and families he cares for.  He cares for patients that require a highly skilled nurse to maintain their health and safety status, and make it possible for these patients to remain in their own home.  Michael is always dependable, accessible, and willing to offer extra assistance as needed.  He would be an asset to any employer and I recommend him for any future endeavor he chooses to pursue.
