CAREGIVER APPRECIATION: Dr. Mary Kussman

Dr. Mary Kussman provided wonderful care to me when I needed it the most. After giving birth to my first child, I got a spinal headache, which made it very difficult to care for my baby. Dr. Kussman personally came to the ER to consult with me about performing a blood patch procedure and took me right up to get it done.

She was very calm, confident, professional and caring throughout the procedure even when things were not going 100% as planned. The following day Dr. Kussman called me personally to see how I was feeling despite her being off work that day. She went above and beyond for me and I could not thank her more for making a difference, not only in my life, but also in my baby’s life. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for providing exceptional care!
