Advocate Sherman Imaging (ASI) became my #1 choice for mammograms...on my very first visit:  While - regrettably - I cannot recall the name of my first Mammography Technologist @ ASI, I will ALWAYS remember how she  made me feel:  Her technical skills matched  her people skills as she calmly & kindly introduced herself, explained in easy to understand words what would happen next, and then handed me a comfy-warm hospital robe to change into. I never felt rushed at any time & sincerely  expressed my overwhelming appreciation for   being treated with such respect and kindness. The mammo went better than I had ever experienced before on all levels.  Prior to this, mammograms went like this:  I was treated somewhat mechanically by staff & mammo technologist: Given a cold gown & shown where to change; cold hands mechanically/sometimes very uncomfortably positioning my breasts one-by-one on the imaging platform's cold, hard surface before getting firmly flattened like pancakes (while I was told to remain perfectly still and hold my breath)...There was no warning that I would/could be  sharply pinched at any time, and be forced to stand on my tippy toes to meet the platform's rising height. Once in a while I'd hear, 'sorry!' when I yelped out, or we'd have to start all over if I couldn't reach the rising platform's height:/   Diane Johnson, Stellar Mammography Technologist:  As very positive all of my ASI mammo experiences have been over the years, my mammo yesterday afternoon with Diane was the Best of the Best Ever:  I had had an emotionally challenging morning and was running late. The helpful & understanding triage nurse  checked  if Diane could still administer my mammo; thankfully she agreed.  Upon meeting Diane, her sincere warmth and reassuring countenance immediately put me at ease. In addition to giving me the (beloved) warm robe, she assured me things would go smoothly, let me know there was a new easier to adjust imaging device, and in an uncanny way seemed to read my mind about all the :/ experiences I had had in the past...explaining, for example,  that I didn't have to worry about standing on my tip-toes. Then, in record time - without feeling rushed - Diane set up my first imaging, as was consciously practicing the Golden Rule, with warm hands, being thoughtfully careful,  gentle & exact. I honestly couldn't believe how anyone could have done such a Great Job so quickly. And, that calm sense of well-being I felt upon meeting Diane...it  stayed with me for the rest of the day!  And, the healthy mammo results came back in record time too!!! Talk about an Added Value mammography.  With Sincere Thanks from the bottom of my heart, Karin Tarte   (PS I also love that you have your own little cozy & clean mammo suite:)
