Awards and Recognition
Comments From Patients and Families
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.
Renee Carpenter-Wells, PCPNP, DNP, Pediatric Neurosurgery
“Renee Carpenter-Wells was truly one of the most incredible providers I have ever met. The way she genuinely wanted to help us, validated our concerns and reassured us through the entire appointment felt special. She is a wonderful provider, and I could go on and on about how wonderful she was.”
Brooke Gustafson, Pediatrics
“I had a very good understanding of the procedure and why this was a logical next step for my son’s pulmonary concerns. I’m very glad he is getting the care he has needed regarding his chronic coughing. His other more immediate life-threatening medical concerns had put this on hold for three years. Nationwide Children's has been imperative in my son's medical journey.”
Renee Heng, MD, Anesthesiology & Pain Medicine, and Amy Manning, MD, Otolaryngology
“We were so impressed with the ENT and anesthesiologist's attentiveness and willingness to answer my daughter's questions. They provided her with a great deal of comfort and reassurance! I never once felt anxious while she was back in the OR, because I felt so confident she was in expert hands. We are already so happy that we chose Dr. Manning as her ENT. We are already noticing a big difference in her ability to breathe and think this procedure will be life-changing for her!”
Anna Kamp, MD, MPH, Pediatrics
“Dr. Anna Kamp is fantastic. Every time I see her, she is kind, absolutely brilliant, empathetic and fully focused. As one of her adult congenital patients, I really appreciate that she makes decisions with me and is fully supportive of my decisions. I love that she is incredibly honest. She is seriously one of the best.”
May Ling Mah, MD, Pediatrics
“Dr. Mah is the best cardiologist I have had, and I've had a cardiologist for forty years now. Back then, ‘Adult Congenital Heart Disease’ was an oxymoron. She has been with me on this experience of surviving longer than anyone expected. She's a big reason I've survived the last ten years. Dr. Mah treats me like a whole person. She keeps me well informed and listens to my goals and values my quality of life. She's honest. Please keep having her train young doctors. Your team has been available in ways that have kept me out of the emergency room, and I am so deeply grateful for that. You've worked together well, especially for visits.”
Ethan Mezoff, MD, Pediatrics
“Dr. Mezoff was extremely helpful in explaining everything that was going to happen to our son. He was thoughtful and kind in answering his questions. His bedside manner was comforting and engaging. We would highly recommend him to anyone needing GI care.
Additionally, the commitment of Nationwide Children’s to elevate the topic of mental health and wellness in addition to medical care provided was evident. I truly appreciate this tremendous effort to normalize and enhance mental health care. Please keep up this vital work.”
Kara Morris, DDS, Dentistry
“Dr. Morris is always the best. Always so personable, and my son enjoys his visits with her. She makes sure we don’t have to make extra trips due to our two-and-a-half-hour drive. The office was great about getting us in early after another appointment. We really appreciate Dr. Morris going the extra mile for her patients, even if it adds extra to her daily load.”
Hunter Wernick, DO, Pediatrics
“Dr. Wernick was outstanding with my son. She spoke to him directly with respect and with clarity appropriate for a teenager who wants to be informed and manage his own health. Teenage boys are difficult to communicate with and she nailed it.”
