One of my favorite things about Esther is that the she listens! Then acts on what I've said. She respects that we both want the same thing and that is that my life can go on as normal. Thanks!

She was very knowledgeable, she explained a few things to me that I wasn't aware of before my heart attack. She spoke to me about some of the medications I've been on for years and years. She seemed very kind and very caring and I truly enjoyed visiting with her. She made me feel like we were best friends. I would recommend her to anyone. She was great.

Esteher Spataro, is the only person I know that embodies what a nurse is, and should be. Compassipn, Respect, Knowledge, and the ability to share it so I have an understanding of it. The only disapointment I have had is in me, I found the cardiac rehab to depressing, and mostly useless, and the need for support for the new patient. Esther, is the only support I have at St. Joseph's as an open heart patient and without her I may not have been here as a person.

She simply made me feel like she truly cared. I know it sounds dorky, but a person can feel like they're "lost in the shuffle", but Ms. Spataro didn't come off that way.
