Marvin Milord,left, and Nicole Silverio,
Natosha Houston is Assistant Chief of Radiation Oncology at Mount Sinai West and is very proud of her “amazing” team. Recently she received a letter from a patient who clearly feels the same. The letter follows:
Dear Natosha:
As tomorrow is my last day of radiation treatments, let me please offer my thanks and compliments to your staff. I know you are as proud of them as I am thankful to them. I was certainly anxious as I started my treatments. Given the limited time they have between patients, your team was still able to help me feel secure. Nicole Silverio, Marvin Milord, Andrea Cepeda, and Shafira Subedi were so sensitive to me. I asked many questions, and I was anxious. Yet they provided answers and support that made me feel confident. There even came a time where I actually looked forward to my treatments, as I could then interact with them. Nicole, Marvin, Andrea, and Shafira were incredibly helpful. They are wonderful at their job and so kind. I felt fortunate to be their patient. I also got to know Antonella Leon for my last few sessions, and she was kind and helpful as well. I will always be thankful to have received the benefits of their skills. I am happy for you that they work with you.
