patient advocates

Our Patient Advocates provide warmth, compassion, (and cookies!) to our patients while in the waiting room.

Patient Hospitality

Have you ever sat in the waiting room of a doctor’s office surrounded by the hurried frenzy of swarming nurses and feeling as if you were merely a number on someone’s “to do” list? Certainly, you are not alone. While life in the twenty-first century seems to be getting busier by the moment, Silverstein Eye Centers is turning back the clock to a simpler, more relaxing way of life. The “cookie ladies,” as they are quickly becoming known, warmly greet patients in the Silverstein Eye Centers waiting room and kindly offer them cookies, coffee, and hot chocolate. The cookie ladies’ zeal for life spills over onto everyone they come in contact with. They bring a touch of friendliness and relaxation to the physicians’ waiting room that simply isn’t found anymore.

Although serving cookies is certainly a nice amenity, that is not all that the cookie ladies do. They also help relax patients by helping them fill out the necessary medical forms and answering any questions they may have. It is also always nice to have someone who is able to direct and assist patients to the restrooms and exam rooms when necessary. In the meantime, however, be assured that the patient’s guest will be well entertained and cared for by the healthcare hostesses of the twenty-first century – the cookie ladies.

So relax and have a cookie. Just remember to keep your shoes on; there are still other patients in the room.
