Thank you Jesus, Mary and St. Joseph. Thank you St. Joseph’s Hospital and specifically, Dr. De Bruin. As an immigrant, a new American, a new mother & a second language English speaker, I was concerned that I would not be able to communicate effectively about a serious medical issue. I cannot express my gratitude for your care & dedication & concern for my young daughter. I understood everything, every step of the way. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing your expertise with my family. And thank you to your team, Bre Gillen, Pam Rivera, Carissa DiMattia, & resident doctors, Clare Bostros & Jaime Bogusz. May Almighty God bless you all. There is no better, more talented or more dedicated team of medical professionals in the world.

Dr. De Bruin is the most professional, dedicated, hardworking, patient-centered, empathetic & intelligent pediatrician I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. I could not be more grateful for the care that he provided for one of my daughters in her infancy just after birth with a complex medical problem. In spending 3-days / 2-nights at St. Joseph's Hospital in Patterson, NJ, I almost thought Dr. De Bruin lived at the hospital because he spent so much time there focused on the health, welfare & care of his patients. It was like he never left – late at night, early in the morning & on weekends. As a worried parent of a sick young infant, Dr. De Bruin provided a sense of confidence that we were in the best of hands, and could not ask for better, more competent or more caring help than that of his & his staff. On top of that, Dr. De Bruin's team of nurses is second to none, and in a special way, I'd like to thank Bre Gillen, Pam Rivera, Carissa DiMattia & Dr. De Bruin's residents, Drs. Clare Bostros & Jaimee Bogusz. It was such a blessing to have the standard of care provided for my child & I could not be more grateful.
