Memorial Award to the Outstanding Resident in Anesthesiology

Dr. Grigore was very
solicitous
in responding to my
questions regarding the
impending open-heart surgery.
As a result of her efforts as the
primary anesthesiologist, I will
resume a better-than-previous
active life once my rehabilitation
period is completed.

Hi, Dr. Grigore! Today
is the 6th
anniversary of
my husband’s aortic
dissection. Especially grateful
for the care you provided him
every day, but especially
grateful today. I can never
thank you enough for helping
save his life!

Neale and I want to
thank you
so much for what
you did on August 29th after his
surgery on August 28th. If you
hadn’t been there to help him, I
don’t know if he would be here
today! You were so kind! Just
wanted to tell you how much we
appreciate you.
