Some moments in medicine stay with you forever. It’s not because of a diagnosis or a protocol, but because of the people, families, and true trust that’s placed in your hands as a provider.
Dr. Wilder recently received a note from a patient’s daughter that caused her to pause and truly reflect on the importance of compassionate healthcare. She asked for permission to share it because it reflects exactly why we do what we do at Lifescape.
Her mother is the heart of her family and the center of her world. When someone entrusts us with the care of a person like that, we never take it lightly. LifeScape’s concierge care model makes healthcare personal. Care should be rooted in respect, patience, and genuine human connection. This is especially true when caring for older adults, who deserve to be seen not just as patients, but as whole people with rich lives, deep histories, and families who love them.
Here is the beautiful, heartfelt message she shared:
Dear Dr. Wilder,
It was truly such a pleasure meeting you. I can’t begin to express how grateful I am for the incredible care you are giving to my Mama. She is the heart of our family, our matriarch, but to me, she is so much more than that.
She is the person who has carried me through every season of my life, the one constant source of strength, love, and comfort I have always been able to count on. I honestly cannot imagine my life without her.
My Mama is one of the kindest, sweetest souls on this earth. Her gentle spirit has shaped who I am, and her love has been the foundation of everything good in my life.
Knowing she is in the hands of someone as compassionate, attentive, and truly invested as you brings me a peace that I cannot put into words.
The way you speak to her, care for her, and treat her with such dignity and warmth means more to me than you could ever know.
Thank you, from the deepest part of my heart, for taking such beautiful care of the person who means the absolute world to me. Your kindness is a gift I will never forget.
With profound gratitude,
R.M.
Caring for someone’s loved one is never just clinical. It is deeply interpersonal.
Every patient who walks through our doors brings a lifetime with them. Our responsibility is to honor and understand that, as we begin to craft their plan of care and support their brilliant health breakthroughs.
We treat each person with the dignity they deserve, and give each family the reassurance and peace of mind they need.
Our hope is that every patient finds a physician who can do this for them - and that every physician strives to be just that for their patients.
