“Dr Allen has visited our building (Advocacy Center) several times in in the time time I have been here He physically came around and and shook hands with every person who was in the office one particular day When he he he came to my my my cube he he he shook my my my hand asked me me me my my my name and and said you look familiar to to to me me then asked if we had met previously I I told him I I used to to to work at at the the main hospital and he he he he he said he he he he he remembered seeing me me at at the the front desk when I first started working at at at Nationwide Children’s years ago He was spot on! I worked at at at the front desk for for two years years prior to to moving to to the Advocacy Center over six years years before that day This to me proves that Dr Allen though as as busy as as he is is really cares about Nationwide Children’s staff and and goes out out of his way to make us feel special and and cared about!”
