| Dr. Douglas Poff |
He has taken care of me and my girls for many yrs. When I remarried he took my husband on as a patient (no easy task). My husband hasn't been to a Dr. in yrs. When my husband had health problems and needed to be in the hosp. and wouldn't go Dr. Poff talked to him on the phone. Somehow he talked him into going. And every night Dr. Poff was on the phone with me seeing how he was doing. He wasn't getting paid -- he did it all out of his care for his patients. My husband was in a coma for a week and Dr. Poff kept close tabs on Jim and myself. Now Jim sees him at least once a year if not more and I have to thank Dr. Douglas Poff for that. |

She doesn't just tell us how to handle a situation, but also, tells us why. With Dr. Costa-Fox there is always a learning opportunity. Not to mention, she is always friendly, humorous and brings treats occasionally. |

| Dr. Lakeeya Tucker |
She is a very busy Doctor. Many request her at her practice. Regardless of how busy she is, she always takes time to hug you with her greeting, listen to your concerns, and she never makes you feel rushed. She personally has delivered 2 of my children. I dislike having to go to the doctor, but I always enjoy getting to see her. She truly makes me feel important. |

| Dr. Timothy Heilman |
In December 2008 I was walking with a cane, every step slow and painful, wondering if I was bound to be an invalid at only 45 years of age. In November/December 2009 I climbed 150 steps to the Parthenon in Athens, walked down 600 steps in Santorini, Greece and briskly covered two miles on foot from the Louvre to the Eiffel Tower in Paris, all without an iota of pain and definitely without a cane! This was all possible due to Dr. Heilman and the fantastic team who worked with him cleaning up my herniated disk in January 2009. I got my life back! How much more inspiring can you get. |

She is truly an asset to Sparrow and our community. |

| Dr. John Armstrong |
Though never having the privilege of working directly with Dr. Armstrong, those whose opinion I value highly have never had anything but praise for him. While he is blessed with the natural aptitude needed to become a doctor (which most of us do not have) I don't think he notices. He seems to treat everyone with value and dignity no matter what their station or intellect. That is to me what "Radical Loving Care" is all about. |
