The following reports from patients and family members reaffirm our staff’s commitment
to putting our patients’ needs first. Please take a minute to say THANKS!


I was impressed and thankful I was to have Lamont [from Shore Home Care] as my PT. He was exceptional; in addition to being the most professional, knowledgeable physical therapist, he also has the exact demeanor needed for his position. He was kind, yet challenged me to get where he needed me to be physically at each stage of my therapy.
He worked with me at my home for about eight weeks after my car accident, during my wearing a body cast and then after surgery for spinal injuries. My family and friends could not have been more impressed with my improvement in mobility, and it was all due to the encouragement and direction from Lamont.
I have actually said to several persons that he saved my life. I was in a depressed state with the overwhelming pain, yet he got me up and moving, and doing what I needed to do to improve. I will be forever thankful that you sent Lamont to my home when I needed this assistance. I’m sure that every person he works with is thinking the same thoughts since it is very apparent that he loves what he does.


I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Pelczar or the nurses in the pre-op and post-op areas. Jennifer Morgan, RN was very knowledgeable and thorough in making sure that everything was in place prior to my surgery. She started my IV on the first stick. She communicated well with anesthesia and the OR nurse.


This visit restored my faith in [UM Shore Medical Center at Dorchester.} Everyone was helpful and treated me with respect. I can’t remember all my nurse’s name but they were great. The techs also were great. Coree Young was fantastic. I wish I could remember the others!


My pre-op visit with Vickie at Shore Medical Center at Chestertown was very helpful !! Also, Gail Dierker was excellent – she got my IV on the first stick & I’m not an easy stick for an IV !!


At Shore Rehab in Denton, all three of my therapists were very encouraging, supportive and knew their jobs!


As a retired emergency physician, I know how an ED is supposed to work and yours [at UM Shore Medical Center at Dorchester] met my expectations. My admitting nurse, Katie and my emergency physician, Dr. Klotz, were outstanding – professional, competent and caring.
