Happy National Doctors’ Day

We take pride in the excellent care our doctors provide and thank them for all they do to fuel our mission. To recognize them this National Doctors’ Day, March 30, we asked our community of patients, colleagues, donors, and friends to send messages of kudos and well wishes. Enjoy!

We’re so appreciative of Dr. Ravin Davidoff’s excellent guidance over so many years.

A shout out to Dr. Jason Worcester from his proud parents.

Dr. Olga Beresneva saved my life. She is a very competent and kind surgeon.

Dear Dr. Ayyagari, Happy National Doctor’s Day! Your kind care deeply touched and inspired me. I extend my sincere gratitude to you and your entire team for the unwavering support and kindness. I am filled with optimism for the future, thanks to his remarkable expertise and care.

A big thank you to Dr. Lauren Tracy for diagnosing my rare condition and treating me quickly! She has made a huge impact on my quality of life!

Dear Nora Carr, I know its Doctors’ Day that is being celebrated, but to me, and I’m sure to so many other patients, you are worth more than a million doctors put together. Your compassion, professionalism and dedication to your patients cannot be measured. Thank you for all you do.

Thank you Dr. Nathan Olszewski, for literally putting my leg back together again! I can’t imagine where I would be today if I had not been transferred from a local hospital to BMC. The former was smart enough to know they did not have the expertise to help me, the latter was amazing. Thanks Doc, thanks BMC!

Dr. Yakavonis! You are a gifted surgeon and life changing specialist to whom I am eternally grateful. You rock! Thanks to you and your team from the bottom of my heart. May God bless you abundantly for all that you do.

Dr. Balady, Stephanie, Kim, and Eric have been a wonderful team helping me recover from my cardiac events. They saved my life and gave me a new healthy life through the great BMC Cardiac Rehab Program! God bless you!

I would like to recognize Dr. Wang along with the entire supporting crew (Ricardo Munarriz, Ariel Hirsch) who were involved in my diagnosis along with their plan/s to remove my cancer. Dr. Wang and team performed my eventual surgery. From the initial meeting leading up to my surgery, as well as post surgery, Dr. Wang and team have made me feel comfortable and genuinely relaxed regarding the whole procedure and recovery.

THANK YOU BMC for every successful surgery.

Hi Dr. Gagne, Happy National Doctors’ Day!! Thank you for the excellent care you provide to me and to BMC patients every day. I’m lucky to have you as my doctor and Tashia too! Thank you both for taking good care of me.

I’d like to thank all the committed professionals at BMC for the care I’ve received over the years. A special shout out to my doctor, Dr. LaRochelle, who’s the best!

Thank you, Dr. David Harrison.

Happy Doctors’ Day! Dr. Marcus A. Couey, DDS, MD, and team accepted my procedure after four other medical facilities turned me away. BMC made it comfortable with the arrangements. Thanks for your consideration and support.

We just had the most amazing hospital experience at BMC. Dr. Rowe has given my sister the gift of sight, something we didn’t think was possible until we met Dr. Rowe. Everyone, from the receptionist in the waiting room, the entire surgical team, to the hospital personnel we pass in the hallways, is NICE! We are very grateful that we had a positive experience and especially for Dr. Rowe. Miracles can happen!

Thanks to you doctors for all of your work, dedication, and persistence to fight through the nonstop blizzard of paperwork and new technical systems to help keep us well and functional as we move through our lives. Happy Doctors’ Day!

Happy National Doctors’ Day, Dr. Kelly Sayre. I can’t thank you enough for the exceptional care you provided me. Your patience, kindness, and expertise helped me through a difficult time. I am grateful that I was referred to you.

Dr. Quan, I can’t imagine my wonderful healthcare without you, if I’m not feeling like myself for more than a week I know I will see you for a diagnosis that day and be treated for my ailments. Dr. Quan, you are my safety net in life, in all aspects. Thank you and I’m truly grateful.

Dear Dr. Khan, thank you for your thoughtful care which you provide me. All the best to you.

Thanks to Dr. Minh Truong!

I appreciate every ounce of care I receive at Boston Medical Center. I benefit from having a pacemaker – a wonderful invention. Also, the home-care program is great.

I want to thank all the doctors that took care of me. They were compassionate and listened to my family’s concerns. I love my doctors so much that I still follow up with them in outpatient. It is worth it to travel to Boston to work with these great individuals to achieve my health goals.

Thank you to Dr. Anna Cervantes and the tremendous care received from the SNICU.

You are much appreciated.

To the extraordinary physicians at BMC, Happy National Doctors’ Day! I want to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for the incredible care I have received at BMC over the past eight years. Having delivered four high-risk babies under your watchful and compassionate care, I can truly say that I could not have been in better hands. Your expertise, kindness, and dedication made all the difference in my journey to motherhood, and I will forever be grateful for the support and reassurance you provided every step of the way. Thank you for the life-changing work you do every day—you are truly remarkable!

Dr. Sanford Auerbach, thank you so much for saving my life. Your dedication to medicine and caring for your patients will forever be unmatched. I had seen numerous doctors over 27 years and none have compared. Thanks again for the dedication over the last 15 years in making me feel so much better. I wouldn’t have it any other way.

My primary care doctor, Dr. Wilson, is amazing. My care, nurses, and doctors are wonderful.

BMC doctors, I want to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for the incredible work you do every single day. Your unwavering dedication, compassion, and expertise make a profound difference in the lives of so many people.

Your impact reaches far beyond the walls of the hospital, touching lives and inspiring hope every day. Please continue to shine — you are truly making a difference.

Thank you to the wonderful doctors at BMC. You saved my life. I am forever grateful for the doctors who played a role. Words really cannot express my gratitude.

Happy Doctors’ Day: Dr. Ko, Dr. Cassidy and Dr. Nina. Thanks for all you do for little old me.

Happy National Doctors’ Day to the incredible team at BMC who saved my life. I’m so grateful for you all!

Thank you to Dr. Tony Tannoury for his kindness and expertise in performing my back operation!

Happy National Doctors’ Day! Thank you for the wonderful — and lifesaving — work that you do.

Happy National Doctors’ Day. Thank you for your professional care.

Dr. Marilyn C. Augustyn has been my son’s pediatrician for 7 years, and she is truly one of the best doctors at BMC. I highly recommend her to any parent with a child who has special needs. She genuinely cares about her patients and always goes above and beyond. Whenever I send a message on MyChart, she responds promptly, no matter the time or day, and ensures my son has the right resources. She is kind, humble, and deeply passionate about the work she does.

Thank you for all that you do to be of service and help others heal. God bless!

Muchísimas gracias por su trabajo comprometido en mejorar nuestra salud, feliz día del medico!!

BMC is one of the best hospitals in the country. The surgeons are top notch and the geriatric unit is great.

Happy National Doctors’ Day! Thank you for all that you do.

Dr. Kevin Wilson diagnosed my condition, spent a lot of time explaining it, reviewed multiple images in detail on his office computer with me, gave me a treatment plan, and coordinated with my primary care doctor. The treatment is working, I feel good, and I feel that Dr. Wilson and BMC really did a fine job for me. Thank you!

Happy National Doctors’ Day! I wouldn’t be able to do the work I do at BMC without each and every one of you. Thank you for providing exceptional care to all of our patients every day.

May the lord continue to bless you and your family for letting you sacrifice your life daily to go take care of others to make sure they get the right care from your heart to their heart so they can live a healthy life. Your light shines all around your patients. And they all love you, thank you so much for what you have done. May the lord keep shining his light. In the name of Jesus, stay blessed, Amen.

Happy National Doctor’s Day to my surgeon Dr. Chadi Tannoury! I have to say, he is a wonderful surgeon and person. He has been providing my care for my injury since the end of 2021 with multiple surgeries and follow up care. As well as for my mother. We want to say thanks! Anyone looking for an orthopedic spine surgeon, look no further (we are RN’s so we know!). His skill, knowledge and bedside manner cannot be beat. His work is impeccable. Thanks again Dr. Tannoury! We are lucky to have you!

Many thanks to all that work at BMC, but especially to Dr. Couey and Dr. Morgan and their troops. Dr. Morgan makes me laugh with her stories. I can make Dr. Couey laugh, or at least smile with my banter. Keep up the fabulous work you do.

Thank you to everyone at BMC for such great care and service. Especially Dr. Eric Awtry who really looks out for me and my heart. Greatly appreciated!!

Happy Doctor’s Day. Thank you for all you do to keep us safe! You make a difference in our lives!

I would like to thank Dr. Wilson and the rest of my team.

Thank you doctors for the warmth and concern you evidenced each time you went in my room during my hospitalization. Thank you for your friendliness and your visit as a team. I was delighted meeting all those candidates who are preparing to become full-fledged doctors. They were inspirational.

Thank you to all the doctors that do so much for their patients every day!

Thank you for all that you’ve done for me and for your community of patients. May God’s grace continue to bless you all. I am praying for you. THANK YOU, HAPPY DOCTORS’ DAY!

Happy National Doctors’ Day. I am forever grateful for the service you render to BMC everyday.

To Dr. S. Bernard, Dr. N. Edwards and Dr. J. Kalish. From my old repaired heart, beating with the love, respect, and sincere gratitude for my care….you’re my team, and you empowered me to be captain. You are exemplary beyond description. Grazie Meli (Thank you).

Thank you so much for your kindness, expertise, bedside manner, and support for all of us patients who are not at our very best and rely on your skills and knowledge and optimism for our healing. We appreciate you!

I just spent a week at BMC. The doctors met with me every day. They were adamant about getting to the reason for my illness. I’m very appreciative for them.

Once again, I am filled with gratitude to the BMC team of doctors for the care and concern they showed KR during his extended hospitalization. It was a complex case, but his care team was diligent in researching and solving KR’s medical issues and he has been stable for close to a year. Thank you cardiology, nephrology, and the ED trauma team, you are appreciated!

Thank you to Dr. Tiger Li and his staff! They are always thoughtful, knowledgeable and offer the best care. You are truly appreciated!

Happy National Doctors’ Day to all the wonderful doctors at BMC. Thank you for helping all your patients, we appreciate all that you do!!

Thanks for your services.

Thanks to all the doctors who do what they do everyday. Not always in the best situations. Special thanks to my PCP Chloe. You’re the best. Looking forward to having you back. Many thanks!!

Betty Sam, thank you for saving my life over and over again through your attentiveness to detail, swift follow up, education, and overall clinical astuteness. Your excellent care for my health continues to afford me the opportunity to care for others.

Thank you for your service in the healthcare sector, it’s greatly appreciated.

Dr. John Berk is extremely compassionate, fiercely bright, and has the ability to breakdown complicated medical issues to a point where patients understand their condition. His advice and empathy have been invaluable.

I appreciate the care and attention that I receive from Dr. Pierre, nurse Desiree and her staff, they’re the best.

Happy National Doctors’ Day—I wanted a different opinion about my problem. My wife and I decided to try BMC to see if I could get help. So far everyone we’ve been in contact with has treated us well. We’re going to continue with the excellent treatment I’ve received so far.

Thank you for the wonderful care!

HUGE gratitude for the doctors of BMC, Dr. Evan Messaris and his team, specifically.

Dr. Charles Bliss is wonderful. He is a compassionate, extremely knowledgeable doctor and I feel lucky to be in his care. Thanks Dr. Bliss, I appreciate all of your work!

Thank you for your compassionate care!

Happy National Doctors’ Day!

Thank you for all you do!

Thank you specially to Dr. Sandra Looby-Gordon and to all the doctors at BMC for all you do. Not everyone can do what you do in your own specialty but anyone can see that what you do makes a wonderful difference. You are loved and appreciated.

Thank you to the wonderful and compassionate doctors who saved my life. I was airlifted from my local hospital to BMC and given immediate care that saved my life and I was home in two days! This all happened during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. I am forever grateful for the doctors and nurses who saved my life!

Happy Doctors’ day Dr. Arangan!! You stayed with me all night during my delivery and have been an amazing support system during my pregnancy, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. Keep being awesome!

Happy National Doctors’ Day , thank you for being such a dedicated, caring, doctor over all the years Dr. Michael York!

I have been a patient at BMC for twenty years. I would like to thank all the doctors for their excellent care, especially my personal physicians. Thank you so much. God bless you.

Happy National Doctors’ Day! Appreciate all my doctors for their service

As someone who has worked at BMC for over 25 years, I wish to express on behalf of many our collective gratitude for the skilled leadership, groundbreaking research, incredible teaching and clinical innovation of Dr. Marilyn Augustyn. She sets the bar for the clinician, colleague, advocate and friend we should all aspire to emulate. Every day she shows up and puts her patients and coworkers first. Thank you, Marilyn, for all that you do. Every. Day.

I appreciate the long-standing relationship I have with Dr. Angela Jackson. She’s still compassionate. She listens to me and not only does she listen but she hears me. Thank you Dr. Jackson for your commitment to exceptional care.

I want to thank Dr. Karavas and Dr. Bernard in their respective cardiac programs. They were positive, kind, and uplifting during a very scary time in my life. In speaking to them, I felt sure that I could get through and recover well, and with a lot of hard work, I did. True care in all ways. I didn’t just feel like an ‘interesting case’ but a person. I cannot thank either of them enough.

I wish all the doctors at Boston Medical Center, A VERY SPECIAL HAPPY DAY ON THEIR CELEBRATED HOLIDAY, with a special personal wish to Dr. Michael Kain and his medical staff, who were all involved with my surgery in 2024. I have been very fortunate to now be in the shape that I am in. I use to play a lot of golf in the early years, and played quite well. I am hoping that maybe my ability might be able to rear its head up once again, and give me the opportunity to shoot between 75-79, that would be quite nice!

Best doctors I’ve ever encountered I love them all, very respectful!

Happy National Doctors’ Day!

Happy National Doctors’ Day! Thank you for the phenomenal care you give to us patients each and every day!

My deepest gratitude for saving my life. I wouldn’t be alive if it weren’t for the doctors at BMC.

I grew up within walking distance of Boston City Hospital. I am 69 years old now. When I was about two years old I had to be rushed to the hospital. Many years later, I had the opportunity to give back to the hospital as a chaplain. It was a privilege to witness the life-saving skills of the doctors and nurses who were tirelessly attending to crises. 30 years later, I ended up back at BMC where I received surgery. I received so much warm and loving care from the young student nurses and the attending staff. I am so grateful for the work that Boston Medical Center does for so many people. It is incalculable! Thank you again and God bless you in your mission.

Happy National Doctors’ Day to all the BMC doctors for their exceptional service!!! You are appreciated!!!!

Happy National Doctors’ Day. I appreciate the great service you provide to us throughout the years at BMC.

You guys are the best! I tell everyone BMC is the best hospital/care in the world. Thanks for everything.

Thank you for the excellent and compassionate care that you provide, consistently!

I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Dr. Michael Kain for his expertise in hip surgery. He is a very caring and skilled surgeon, who cares about the outcomes of his patients!!

To Dr. Steenkamp, Happy National Doctors’ Day! Thank you so much for being kind and taking the time to provide me excellent care. I appreciate you!

Dr. Jean Liew is amazing! She is the first MD to not give up on me. I am so thankful for her, her kindness and patient care. Over 20 years later, I am finally closer to getting answers. BMC is extremely lucky to have her. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

Thank you Dr. Janice Quan for taking such good care of me over the years and always advocating for me. You rock!

BMC doctors and nurses are phenomenal, the residents have good skills. I worked there for two years, and didn’t realize how good they were until I worked in a different hospital. Now I am the one recommending BMC to everyone needing medical care and nurses looking for a job.

Happy National Doctors’ Day! Thank you for the amazing care you provide to all the patients. We can’t say it enough but can only say a humble prayer of good health for life. Thank you for saving lives on the daily. We appreciate you.

The love and care provided by BMC doctors, especially Dr. Habash in family medicine, was the greatest experience of my life. My healthcare improved for myself and my family. I owe my life to her. Very thankful for BMC.

Thank you to the Neurocritical Care Unit for their extraordinary efforts.

Dr. Michael S. Kain, my name is Lawrence and I am a Boston police officer. On May 17, 2021, my cruiser was struck by a stolen car, resulting in fractures to both my acetabulum and right femur. I was fortunate to have you as my orthopedic surgeon, and over the course of the next two years, you performed four surgeries on me, including a hip replacement. While I didn’t make a full recovery, I’m grateful to say that I have made a 97% recovery, which is something I never imagined possible when I first started this journey. I can’t thank you enough for your expertise, care, and dedication throughout this process. Your skill and professionalism have given me back a quality of life I never thought I would regain. On behalf of myself and my family, I want to extend our deepest gratitude to you. Your support has meant more than words can express. With sincere thanks, Lawrence.

Dr. Yialamas and her team are the best! So pleased to have an opportunity to celebrate you!

Happy National Doctors’ Day! I am so proud to be a part of the BMC community, and am in awe of the dedication all our doctors show.

Thank you to all the doctors, nurses, and support staff for their wonderful work. Enjoy National Doctors’ Day with a special thanks to Dr. Eugene Kissin.

Happy National Doctors’ Day. Thank you for the excellent care you provide to Boston Medical Center patients every day. I’m here to thank Dr. Michael Casey, the office team, and nurses, as they were the kindest and most positive teams to visit. The day of my surgery, one of the nurses reminded me of my mom when I needed someone to talk to at that time. Thank you nurse Kelli and Dr. Michael Casey. He is calm, positive, understanding, and goes out of his way. Does his job very well, no question. God bless him.

Happy National Doctors’ Day! Thank you for all of the great care you provided to me and for the excellent care you have provided to others. I had a procedure at BMC a few years ago, and every staff member with whom I interacted with was FANTASTIC. Many good wishes to you all.

I would like to thank all the BMC doctors for all the amazing care they provide, not only for myself but also my loved ones. My boyfriend had a very severe accident last April and the BMC doctors that provided care for him after the accident. Specially Dr. Creevy and his team in the orthopedic department with the continue care they provide him, he continues to recover each day.

I am very grateful for the team of doctors I have taking care of me. Dr. Habash is amazing and always there. She’s very detailed when it comes to my care and the most important thing is that she listen to my concerns. She explains things in a way that I can understand and calms any worries I might have. As well as Dr. Wellington, she’s amazing. She listens and validates my concerns. Dr. Sanders is very caring and listens to my concerns and understands when I explain how I feel during my recovery after and during my process of healing after my many surgeries. I am very grateful, thankful as well as appreciative. Thank you BMC.
