Dear Editor,
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Dr. Nabi, an ENT specialist who has been my surgeon for several years.
His compassion, care and genuine attitude put him at the very top of a long list of physicians and surgeons I have had over my 70 years.
Despite the recent trends of virtual ‘cold’ medicine, he continues to offer amazing in-person visits that focus on the patient and the exceptional care he offers.

Dear Editor,
I am a person with a physical disability.
On Nov. 3, I was accompanied by my mother, who is a senior herself, to visit Dr. Kevin McLeod’s office on West 16th Street.
It was drizzling that morning and so the pavement was wet. My mother had tripped over and fallen on the ground, I also fell.
Both of us immediately yelled for help and there were a number of passers-by who came to our rescue. They helped us get up and escorted us to sit on a bench nearby.
One of them, after learning of our destination, rushed up to the clinic and asked one of the staff there to come and see if any assistance could be given. An employee of the clinic came to the scene and guided us to the clinic.
My mother was in excruciating pain and the employee gave her a patch for her finger, which was bleeding. While I went into one of the clinic’s rooms to pick up a medical monitor, another staff member wrote a request for my mother to have an emergency X-ray at a nearby clinic.
The X-ray revealed that my mother had broken her left collar bone, and we went to the Lions Gate Hospital emergency at once.
Both of us want to convey our gratitude to all those who gave us assistance on that fateful morning, most of whom we do not know their names nor had met personally. Our grateful thanks are extended to the staff of the clinic, as my mother is not their patient but they still provided the help needed.
All of them were our guardian angels, and their gracious help that day confirms our belief that our decision to settle in this compassionate city is the right one.
