Sandra Tomasetti and her daughter, Laura |
This is in regard to Elizabeth Woods, MD, who is my daughter's primary care provider. Although Dr. Woods has always provided us with the best of care, it wasn't until my daughter had a recent bout of pneumonia that I realized that she is not only an exceptional physician who hits the high marks, she is also a kind and understanding person.
Even though my daughter is autistic, Dr. Woods agreed to follow her, and since that first office visit, she has risen to the challenge of caring for a special-needs child using a win-win combination of skill and a sense of humor, while affording my daughter, Laura, the opportunity to be heard. Her bedside manner creates a comfortable atmosphere for Laura, which helps immensely in ensuring a better outcome during our appointments.
During one of Laura's recent visits, Dr. Woods took it upon herself to call me at home during the evening hours, and more than once at work, to check on Laura and inquire and discuss available courses of treatment. Calling at home is extremely rare—not something I have ever come across with my own physicians. Her actions speak for themselves; she is a credit to her profession and is truly the best of the best.
It is my fervent hope that you will find time in your busy schedule to acknowledge Dr. Woods for the fine physician that she is and for the very special care and devotion that she gives to her patients. She is truly an asset to the Children's and to her profession.
