Physician Recognition

Medical staff leadership would like to acknowledge physicians for recently receiving positive comments from patients and families. These comments are only a brief sample of the many compliments our physicians receive regularly.

Kim Bjorklund, MD, Pediatric Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, and Nicole Elsey, MD, Anesthesiology & Pain Medicine

"One of the things that stood out to me on this visit was how well the team (Westerville Surgery Center) worked together to care for my daughter. The nurses were so kind and thoughtful to not only us as a family but to each other as well. This facility seems to work as a well-oiled machine and is extremely efficient."

Victoria Elliott, MD, Pediatrics

“We are so thankful for the providers at Nationwide Children’s! They have made us feel heard and supported us through our daughter’s diagnosis. The endocrinology office has been amazing as we navigate this new journey. Prior to discharge, all our appointments had been set and utilizing the MyChart app has made it even more efficient. I would recommend Nationwide Children’s to anyone as they have been a huge asset as we navigate through this new diagnosis. The staff has been amazing as well.”

Aaron Maki, MD, PhD, Pediatrics

“This was a minor injury, and I really appreciated the same amount of attention as if it was a major one.”

Hilary Michel, MD, Pediatrics

“Dr. Michel is the absolute best pediatric doctor we have ever seen. And because my son is an older teenager, she treated him as such and not like a little kid. She truly cares for her patients and will do whatever it takes to get the best possible outcome for his condition.”

Julie Racine, PhD, Ophthalmology

“Dr. Racine is truly one of the best medical professionals we've met. She's an incredible doctor and made what could have been a difficult test for our son - enjoyable. He left and exclaimed, ‘That was so much fun!’”

Kimberly Schubert, PhD, Psychiatry and Behavioral Health

“Dr. Schubert is the most knowledgeable, caring, relatable caregiver my son has worked with and the most compassionate expert in her field. She is dynamic, insightful and compassionate. She is an asset to your organization and is top tier in her profession. You are very blessed she is on your staff."
