I am very pleased with this agency and the care I am currently receive. My surgeon loves my LVN that comes to visit me. He does a wonderful job and is very creative with the work he does. My surgeon even said "he is better at this stuff then I am" I have 2 drains for the last 3 months, I was told the stitches are always getting pulled out but as detailed he is i haven't needed any new stitches. Prior to my drains inserted I had an abscess for many months on my lower stomach starting from the inside working it’s way out that required a nurse to pack 3 times a week. Other nurses were unsuccessful with the management of my wound but Deejay is my nurse now and he had it healed within 8 weeks when others were not successful. I recommend him 100% Nora is the case manager and she is wonderful. Always polite and accommodating. This dynamic duo is on top of everything and will always be my first choice with Doctors Preferred Home Health. - T. Stewart
