“I have known Merikay for more than 2 yrs and had a significant opportunity to interact and observe her at a closer level. I was fascinated by her unique personality which highly suites her job. She is very passionate, incredibly personable, has vast knowledge, skills in the area of personal relations which are key in improving the Doctors ability to communicate effectively with their patients, facilitating a deeper emotional connection to the patients in a relatively ‘short’ period of time, (which is key for Hospitalists) and able to capture their perceptions which are pivotal in taking the patient experience to a whole new level. Undoubtedly, she is a strong asset in the patient experience/ pt relations/ MD Communication program.”
