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.
Monica Ardura, DO, Pediatrics
“My daughter initially received care from Dr. Ardura during a short in-patient stay. At that time, my daughter was almost 18, and I was so impressed by the patience and willingness of Dr. Ardura to explain her condition in a way that she could hear and understand, which helped my daughter begin to take responsibility for her own medical care and personal actions. Dr. Ardura reached out, followed up and even researched info for my daughter. I appreciate her care and commitment.”
Ray Bignall, MD, Pediatrics
“Dr. Bignall is phenomenal. He truly cares about his patients and makes every effort to ensure he makes the best decisions. He listens and cares about any concerns brought up and does everything to make sure concerns are resolved. Dr. Bignall should be an example for every doctor!”
Traci Bouchard, MD, Pediatrics
“The staff of East Broad Close to Home SM went above and beyond to make my daughter feel relaxed and comfortable when she was feeling sad and tearful. Dr. Bouchard was incredible. She took time to listen to my daughter, and us, her parents. Dr. Bouchard helped us with pharmacy options since it was a Sunday evening and limited pharmacies were available, and even arranged for my daughter to be given a dose of medication before leaving the clinic. It was truly an exceptional experience with exceptional people.”
Elizabeth Claxton, MD, Pediatrics
“Dr. Claxton was incredible! We seriously feel so blessed to have received care from such an amazing medical professional! Dr. Claxton listened to our concerns and did her best to keep my daughter comfortable. Dr. Claxton explained all her plans before the nurses executed them. We are so thankful we were in such fabulous hands!”
Gregory Pearson, MD, Pediatric Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
“Dr. Pearson takes his time, educates us, answers all our questions, and provides compassionate care. He is well-liked by the nurses and staff. The teamwork is amazing. You can tell Dr. Pearson truly cares about his patients and their families. He always goes over and above.”
Reno Ravindran, MD, Pediatrics
“Dr. Reno has been fantastic! My daughter feels very comfortable with him as he explains her condition and involves her in decision-making. It is never ‘fun’ to have a hurt child, however, this team makes it as enjoyable as possible with their positive attitudes and great bedside manner.”
Jessica Scherr, PhD, Psychiatry and Behavioral Health
“Dr. Scherr is amazing! Dr. Scherr has been compassionate, patient, professional and helpful. I cannot thank her enough! My boys were so comfortable, and that is a rarity! Everyone treated us so nicely for something that could be stressful for children and parents, the entire staff (especially Dr. Scherr) created the most welcoming, kind, compassionate experience, not just for my children, but for me as well!”
Rishabh Sethia, MD, Otolaryngology
“My daughter was scheduled to have tubes inserted in her ears. Dr. Sethia came in before and after surgery and explained the surgical process and afterward how the procedure went for my daughter. Dr. Sethia was very professional and made the experience less stressful. The experience overall was exceptional due to the professional staff at Nationwide Children’s.”
