Awards and Recognition

(From the March 2024 issue of MedStat)

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.

Elise DeVore Berlan, MD, MPH, Adolescent Medicine

“Dr. Berlan and her student were excellent. They showed concern and offered suggestions that I should consider. They were so empathetic. I cried because of the great concern shown for my child. Dr. Berlan is an excellent provider, active listener and shows empathy, offers numerous suggestions and explains the benefits of them.”

Jessica Bowman, MD, Pediatrics

“Dr. Bowman explains what is going on and helps answer any questions we have. She is very confident in knowing how my son’s heart is doing. Even when she told that he needed surgery, she was very empathetic and took lots of time helping me process what was next. She is a wonderful doctor!”

Brendan Boyle, MD, MPH, Pediatrics

“Somehow, we had mistaken our appointment date and arrived a day early. We had driven about two hours and had no idea what to do. We were so blessed and grateful when one of the other doctors said they would take us! Everything was incredibly timely, and we received great care. Dr. Boyle was incredibly thorough with all his questions. He listened to my concerns and explained our next steps very efficiently.”

Kristin Chenault, MD, Anesthesiology & Pain Medicine

“The anesthesiologist was phenomenal. She deserves the world for helping us through this procedure and keeping us calm. I would give her a thousand hugs for her help!”

Daniel Coury, MD, Pediatrics

“Dr. Coury listened, educated and made the visit fun. Great bedside manner! Very happy with the care my son received.”

Jonathan Grischkan, MD, FACS, FAAP, Otolaryngology

“Dr. Grischkan did a great job building rapport with our son, which helped him not be as afraid when they wheeled him back for surgery!”

Joy Mosser, MD, Pediatrics

“I cannot overstate how absolutely amazing Dr. Mosser is as a physician. Her knowledge of my child’s rare disease is astounding. We saw multiple physicians before finding Dr. Mosser years ago, and they knew very little (if anything) about his condition. We typically drive three hours round-trip to see her to give you an idea of how much we value her and respect her medical opinion.”

Alana Painter, MD, Hospital Medicine, and Maegan Reynolds, MD, Pediatrics

“We received excellent care in the ED and the ninth floor. Our night shift nurses, and all the providers took great care of us. I cannot say enough great things about Nationwide Children’s. This is the place you want to be if your child is sick. I'm very thankful for the kindness, compassion and care that was shown to me, my husband and most importantly, my child.”
