Patient Reviews
Dec 03, 2023
Dr. Edelheit's compassionate and empathetic approach left a lasting positive impact. Her ability to explain everything in an accessible manner was commendable. She exhibited genuine concern, and created a safe space. She offered valuable care and took the initiative to refer us to other specialists who might provide insights or assistance. What stood out was her commitment to comprehensive care. Instead of discharging us from the department, she ensured we were connected with providers who could help address our concerns. This thoughtful and proactive approach demonstrated a commitment beyond her immediate scope. In a work often marked by hurried consultations, Her genuine care and dedication were a breath of fresh air. Her kindness and empathy went beyond the standard expectations, leaving us grateful for her role in our healthcare journey. She exemplifies the essence of patient-centered care, and we are fortunate to have experienced her compassionate and thorough approach to medicine
