Grace Tesoriero, NP
A patient recently shared their experience with Grace Tesoriero, NP, Department of Geriatrics and Palliative Care, Mount Sinai Morningside. They said, “I came in experiencing a great deal of pain and was angry at everyone I encountered because I just couldn’t manage it anymore. But Grace treated me as if she could feel exactly what I was going through. Her presence was calming, and just being with her made me feel better. I was truly blessed to have seen her that day.”
Romelin Bonilla, Practice Manager, Department of Geriatrics and Palliative Care Medicine, says Grace’s commitment to patients is truly outstanding. “This patient encounter is one of many that speak to Grace’s ability to bring comfort and connection during moments of deep vulnerability. Grace approaches each patient with genuine empathy, clinical excellence, and unwavering dedication. She does not just treat symptoms; she connects with people on a human level. Grace is the kind of provider every patient hopes for: attentive, kind, thorough, and deeply committed to making a difference.”
Grace explains what the patient experience means to her: “A patient’s experience to me is how a patient feels appreciated, accepted, and understood by the provider with their medical concerns, and sometimes with their emotional and personal issues. My goal as a provider is to provide high-quality and effective care while having patients feel comfortable, heard, and acknowledged, with all their issues entrusted to me.”
